In Secret Gardens, readers experience the magic of discovering
beautiful, intricately planned, and meticulously cultivated hidden
worlds. More than 200 spectacular images showcase 13 private gardens,
extraordinary examples of landscape design that are usually inaccessible
to the public, and which have never--or very rarely--been featured in
any publication. From France, Spain, Germany, the Caribbean, Australia,
New Zealand, and more, these gardens offer a dizzying range of
horticultural and conceptual diversity. The designers reflect on the
steps that went into bringing the garden to life, and the book concludes
with biographies of landscape architects whose work is featured within,
explaining the creative vision of some of the most respected design
professionals working today.
