Garden Book Phaidon

A beautifully illustrated who’s who of the world’s finest garden-makers, planters and horticulturists, and their signature works throughout history, spanning styles and continents. From the first religious gardens to Dan Pearson’s heavenly Tokachi garden in Japan, each entry illustrates a key work by the designer, describes the garden, and evokes the unique spirit and ethos of their work. Images span four millennia, from ancient Persian gardens to the naturalistic designs of today, with landscapes from Chanticleer to Central Park, Sissinghurst to Versailles.
