Description
Gardens Illustrated: The New Beautiful is today’s most popular gardening periodical, renowned for its lavishly photographed features on contemporary, forward-thinking gardens that focus on irresistible plants and clever designs.
Through these gardens, each selected by the magazine’s editors for a truly exceptional trait, readers will explore the best new gardens from the United States, United Kingdom, and around the world. The scales range from small city spaces aiming to bring biodiversity deep into the built environment to country estates photographed with a focus on ecology and sustainability. These gardens are created by today’s top garden designers, including Andrea Cochran, Arabella Lennox-Boyd, Peter Korn, Dan Pearson, Andy Salter, Tom Stuart-Smith, Andy Sturgeon, Urquhart & Hunt, and Keith Wiley.
From loose, waving gardens that resemble unexpected mini meadows supporting wildlife in small urban backyards to pleached hornbeams that act as a living fence distinguishing the borders of a lush patio from the landscape beyond, this book showcases gardens with new ideas for hardscape, pathways, fountains, and pergolas. Readers will find hundreds of ideas for incorporating successful plant combinations and other design elements into their own home gardens.
Text by the best garden writers provides ample plant identification information and tips for successful growth. Most importantly, it offers insight into how these top designers conceived and implemented the ideas that make each featured garden a place full of memorable atmosphere, charm, and relaxation.
