This collection of jewel-like paintings and crisply-detailed drawings revives the artist's view of gardens and garden-making.A few of the forty-nine chosen gardens can be seen on almost any day,others open to the public only once or twice in a season.A few remain forever closed to outside eyes.To open the covers of this book is to open all the garden gates.
