"Like Wave Hill itself, these pages make an indelible
impression--wildly intimate, possibility-laden, provocative--leaving me
wide awake and hungry for a visit." --Margaret Roach, author of A Way
to Garden
Wave Hill, a world-renowned public garden in the Bronx, boasts a classic
horticultural craftsmanship unrivaled among other public gardens in the
United States. But it also embraces a design spirit that is daring and
innovative. Every year brings changes to Wave Hill: new combinations of
colors, textures, and forms, along with creative themes and constant
experimentation. Nature into Art brings this splendid, sensory
experience home by honoring the unsurpassed beauty of Wave Hill. It
explores the different areas of the garden--the flower garden, the shade
border, the wild garden, the conservatory, and more--and gives gardeners
helpful information on the plants, techniques, and design choices that
define this iconic space. Filled with stunning, ethereal photography by
Ngoc Minh Ngo, Nature into Art will enchant and inspire you to
practice the Wave Hill way of gardening.
