Synopsis:
California, blessed with an idyllic climate, is the perfect environment for gardens and gardeners. In this sun-filled state are some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. From those created by the Jesuits, simple, rugged and tinged with Spanish influence, to today's environmentally sensitive designs, the scope of the style and concept is astonishing. This is a tour of 30 public and private gardens in the state of California. It examines the estates of turn-of-the-century magnates with their sweeping lawns and terraces, clipped hedges and sparkling pools. It shows the haphazard charm of the "wild" garden that mixes eucalyptus and palm with a mass of foliage and wildflowers, and explores "contemporary" gardens whose stark lines defy tradition. Plant lists are provided for selected gardens.
From the Inside Flap:
stunning gardens demonstrate the diversity and exquisite beauty of landscape design in California, where almost unlimited plant choices create a gardener's paradise. In this sumptuously illustrated guide, Nancy Goslee Power explores the best public and private gardens in California from north to south.Full-color photographs.
