Organized alphabetically by designer or studio name, the book’s pages reveal a striking range of contemporary garden styles – naturalistic, community, wild, urban, botanical, dry, topiary, minimalist, edible, flower, and more – demonstrating how our evolving stylistic and horticultural aesthetic fosters an increasingly strong connection with the natural world.
Both an inspirational resource and an authoritative reference, The Contemporary Garden will delight professional, recreational, and armchair gardeners of all ages.
