Ten gardens throughout England are included, each with intimate portraits of their flowers and plants glowing in the blackness, revealing a secret nighttime world of subtle yet vibrant beauty, and illuminating the mystique of gardens. A perfect rose blooms at midnight. Leaves and flowers seem to glow in the darkness of the nocturnal world, and the peace of night affords these portraits an intimate quality.
