Included in the NYT Book Review suggested end of year books, this is a beautifully done presentation of 100 gardens from around the world, primarily the UK, France, and the US but with representation from Morocco, India, Italy, Mexico, Sweden, etc organized by theme: Art, Landscape, World, Plants, Composition, Lifestyle, Colour, Urban, Environment, and Atmosphere. The headings don’t make any sense even after having read the book, but the photographs and information are fantastic. Full of ideas for VT, from architectural elements to specific trees and plants, this is a fount of design concepts. The specific designers are included and the one from Shelburne, VT is among the best. Great book.
