Customer Reviews

Beautiful book - like a work of art

My father is a landscaper and loves to travel to see gardens. I bought this as a Christmas gift and he loves the book.

A tour around the best gardens in the world

This book is huge and a most for garden reference. It's organized in seven chapters that will impress all kind of taste: The New Classicism: Magical gardens from places such as NY, Spain, Germany...+ The New Traditionalism: Enchanting pictures from NY, IL, France, Japan...+ The New Naturalism: Beautiful gardens from NY, Idaho, France, Arizona, England. The Plantsmen: Magnificent proposals from New England, California, The Netherlands...+ Personal Visions: NY, California, and Texas The Cottage Garden Reinvented: Lovely gardens from England, France and Ireland. The New Modernism: The best and trendiest gardens of California. You'll be able to see some of the best gardens from places such as Arizona to Japan. Some of my favorites gardens where from England, The Netherlands and France. The text is pleasant to read and full of details no only about the flowers portrayed but also to the architect and artist that created such beauty. The balance of text and picture is excellent. The quality of the pictures is excellent, full pages pictures trout the book. House and Gardens did a tremendous job and it's absolutely clear that the took at least ten times the number of pictures in the book since you'll only see the best angle and light possible for each picture. The only con is the lacks of tropical gardens since most part of the book are focus on the northern hemisphere.
