Landscape design has taken a rich and sometimes surprising path through time. In this sweeping, lushly photographed book, historian Linda Chisholm guides you through 100 notable gardens as she tells the story of how landscape design reflects and shapes culture. From the medieval splendor of Alhambra to New York’s High Line, she challenges old assumptions and provides new insights into great designers such as da Vignola, Capability Brown, Gertrude Jekyll, and others. The connection between design and politics, art, and literature is explored, as well as the impact of some of history’s most influential figures in those realms.
