40 Landscapes

A beautiful garden is paradise, offering serenity, harmony, and tranquility to anyone lucky enough to venture there. That's why many rely on the talent of landscape architects--those artists of nature's canvas--to create the perfect garden scheme to complement their home and setting. This gorgeous book brings together 40 stunning gardens designed by leading landscape architects. From a country meadow to a manor farm to a Spanish tropical garden, full-color photos beckon us to take a walk through and enjoy the view. Artists sketches and inspirational text explain how each artist resolved a range of design challenges: harmoniously integrating pools and tennis courts, selecting the right materials for a particular climate, creating a design that maintains a place's sense of history, and more. A gallery of nature-based works of art, this book is for aspiring amateurs, admiring professionals, and everyone who appreciates garden splendor.Trulove, James Grayson is the author of '40 Landscapes' with ISBN 9781564966278 and ISBN 1564966275.
