Planting a garden in the mind's eye

The title says it all. This is a book of essays from people remembering gardens to others planning inaccessible (except in ones mind) gardens. Winner if the Garden Writer's Association of America's 1992 Will and Towel Award for Excellence in Graphic Design and Illustration.
