The History of Landscape Design in 100 Gardens explores the key moments in garden design.

The book is organised chronologically and by theme, starting with the medieval garden Alhambra and ending with the modern naturalism of the Lurie Garden. Sumptuously illustrated, The History of Landscape Design in 100 Gardens is for garden designers and landscape architects, design students, and gardening enthusiasts interested in garden history.

| NZ Review |
In this work that blends both the intimate and the large-scale history of 100 distinctive sites--some predictable, others unexpected--we embark upon an erudite voyage through the centuries. The changes in our landscapes and the evolution of the garden become crystal clear. A thrilling journey! --Alexandre de Vogii, president of Association of Friends of Vaux-le-Vicomte Garden history made captivating and engaging. A handsome, illuminating book that is elegantly written and rich in detail, anecdotes, and stellar images. --Susan Cohen, landscape architect and landscape design program coordinator at The New York Botanical Garden |
