One of the foremost landscape architects of the early twentieth century,
Fletcher Steele (1885-1971) published frequently in both popular
magazines and professional journals, on topics ranging from horticulture
to conservation, civic improvement, modernism, and space composition.
Engagingly written and infused with Steele's sharp wit, Design in the
Little Garden (1924) tackles the challenges of designing the residential
landscape while also addressing architectural and planning issues and
recommending several innovative strategies for suburban house design.
