Great Gardens of America surveys some of the loveliest
grounds in America and Canada, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, from Quebec to California, from the tropical
Southeast to the industrial Midwest. The 25 gardens
showcased range from 18th-century landscape gardens, such as
Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia, through
20th-century creations, such as the lakeside garden at
Innisfree in New York and dramatic Naumkeag in
Massachusetts, to the work of exciting new designers, such
as Topher Delaney in San Francisco and New Mexico's Martha
Schwartz. Many of the gardens are open to the public, so
readers can actually visit and draw firsthand inspiration.
The others, newer domestic gardens, offer tantalizing
glimpses into a glamorous world of luxurious outdoor living.
Three hundred stunning color photographs by renowned garden
photographer Andrea Jones accompany Tim Richardson’s
insightful text.
