The Gardens of California: Four centuries of design from Mission to Modern

Great pictures, has given me some great ideas about the garden to go with my Californian Spanish style home here is Australia As there isn't to many of this style home in Australia so the book was very informative in creating a style that goes with this house, a good reference book

Beautiful and thought provoking

This book is by noted California landscape artist Nancy Goslee Power, with wonderful photos by Mick Hale and has already become a classic refernece. But it's also just gorgeous and fun to read. Shows a range of gardens from mission times to modern day and you can see the trends, the classics, and plenty to stir your imagination and make you want to either get in the garden or make travel plans.
