Pope's doctrines 'In all, let Nature never be forgot' and 'Consult the Genius of the Place in All' reflect his concern with environmental planning, and his influence on contemporary attitudes to nature and the landscape has left a legacy of fine gardens such as Stowe, Stourhead and Mount Edgcumbe. Mavis Batey's book celebrates the poet's relationship with the leading garden makers of his time and includes photographs and contemporary illustrations of the gardens which he helped to design - among them, his own five acres in Twickenham.
