About this book

An authoritative and superbly illustrated celebration of the great gardens of the United States and Canada. The gardens chosen for this book range from eighteenth-century landscape gardens such as Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in North Carolina, through twentieth-century creations such as the lakeside garden at Innisfree in New York State and dramatic Naumkeag in Massachusetts to the work of exciting new designers such as Topher Delaney in San Francisco and Martha Schwartz in New Mexico. Many of the gardens are open to the public, so readers can actually visit them. The others, newer domestic gardens, offer instead glimpses into a glamorous world of luxurious outdoor living.

Media reviews

A very satisfying literary and visual experience providing a great temptation to gardeners. BBC Gardens Illustrated Twin interest in history and contemporary design gives Richardson the confidence to select (and leave out) gardens from the rich past and present of American garden design as he sees fit. It's an assuredness that inspires so much trust in his expertise that this reader, at least, wants to pack this book and travel across America to visit the places that Richardson has described. -- Andrea Wulf Literary Review Such a book is long overdue. Americans have been feasting on British imports a la Brookes, Hobhouse and Verey for long enough. By spotlighting US talents, Mr Richardson is 'returning the compliment', and, perhaps, paving the way for ideas to corss the Atlantic in the opposite direction. Country Life Author and photographer worked closely together on this book, and it shows in an unusually clear correspondance between Tim Richardson's incisive text and Andrea Jones's gloriously atmospheric photographs. Sunday Telegraph Richardson, one of the bigger brains in garden writing, teams up with virtuoso photographer Andrea Jones, and the result is so good it would make you cry. Irish Times A sumptuous coffee-table tome about how man has shaped landscape for his own aesthetic pleasure. Glasgow Herald A wonderful book, from a perceptive and entertaining author. House & Garden Great Gardens of America' surprises, confirms, enlightens and enhances our knowledge of American gardens. It shows what can be achieved when a strong concept is realised without compromise in production or content. Garden Design Journal A beautiful book, lovingly produced and lavishly illustrated with photographs. Professional Gardener A tour de force by the author. Garden
