However, in the earlier part of the 20th century, extensive restoration was carried out. Now \u003cb\u003ehome to Lord and Lady Ralph Kerr\u003c\/b\u003e, the garden remains a beautifully kept treasure. Lady Kerr has developed the garden and her eye for colour and detail means that the Melbourne Garden is a \u003cb\u003ehaven of delightful and unusual specimen trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders\u003c\/b\u003e. Although still very much an 18th-century garden, the new planting schemes have introduced greater botanical interest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCovering both the early history and more recent developments under its current owners, this stunning book contains numerous specially commissioned images by renowned garden photographer Andrea Jones, which show this spectacular garden through the seasons.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJodie Jones\u003c\/b\u003e is formerly the Features Editor of \u003ci\u003eGardeners' World Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, Desk Editor at \u003ci\u003eThe Daily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e and Deputy Editor of \u003ci\u003eGardens Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e.Andrea Jones is one of the world's foremost garden photographers, having built up an international reputation for her photographs of landscape architecture, gardens and plants.
