This book is a celebration of the garden, offering a once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the world s best hidden horticultural gems, uncovering intimate gardens normally inaccessible to the public.
Curated with leading writer and editor Clare Foster (garden editor at House & Garden magazine), who has also written the book s introduction, this beautifully illustrated volume will offer an aspirational tour through 41 private gardens, some never-before published, crafted by today s top designers and individual makers.
From Umberto Pasti's intimate garden in Tangier, a haven of local flora, and a Long Island oasis by British designer Arne Maynard, to a romantic rose garden in Dorset created by the owner with Isabel and Julian Bannerman, and a terraced Mediterranean garden for a family in Ibiza designed by Juan Masedo, the gardens featured cover diverse styles, environments, scales, and locations. Other featured designers include Jinny Blom, Jennifer Gay, Filippo Dimatteo & Maurizio Usai, O+M, Dan Pearson, Stimson, Tom Stuart-Smith, and Sophie Walker.
Organised alphabetically by designer/maker, the story of each garden is told through beautiful large-format images by leading photographers, each selected to convey the garden s sense of place and capturing its unique atmosphere. Expert garden writers explore the gardens designs, key features, and plantings.
A perfect gift for designers and gardeners, this inspiring and comprehensive collection of private gardens captures the contemporary moment in horticulture where innovative design, plantings, creativity, luxury, and beauty meet.
