Modern Garden Design

This compelling account of the modern garden sets the best-known names in their historical and international context, and assesses the latest and boldest responses to the landscape around us. Modern Garden Design begins in the Victorian era and continues into the age of Land Art in an extraordinarily varied survey. From Europe to South America, from Japan to the United States, the book covers the work of many garden and landscape designers whose names are familiar both to lovers and scholars of the modern garden, including Robinson, Jekyll, Jensen, Farrand, Sessions, Mawson, Church, Sørensen and Jellicoe.
