THE ENGLISH GARDEN AT NIGHT
by LINDA RUTENBERG
At night, gardens are mysterious and magical worlds. Flowers emerge from the darkness as alien exquisites. Leaves are shadowy pelts and colour takes on a ghostly lustrousness. Linda Rutenberg's photographs reveal some of the most famous gardens in England: the Eden Project via Kew to Alnwick, as they have never been seen before. Clothed in the mantle of night, they become exotic, bewitching dreamscapes.
