BOOK SYNOPSIS
The re-creation of many of the worlds most important and beautiful gardens has been one of the most exciting and popular garden enterprises of recent years. Covered here in a loose chronological structure, and with lavish illustration throughout, are all the key postwar garden restorations in Europe and the U.S. Learn about the rise in popularity of this practice and the technology that is used in helping to achieve it, along with the way in which particular restorations have contributed to the history of gardening as a whole. There is even an index of all the sites, indicating which ones can be visited by the public. Every outdoors enthusiast will be absorbed by this uniquely fascinating guide.
