The bestselling survey of the world’s finest garden-makers, planters, and horticulturists, now available in a tactile mini format for on-the-go inspiration

Revealing the rich artistic history of this ever-changing art form, The Garden Book presents 500 iconic garden-makers in A-to-Z order, creating fascinating juxtapositions among their signature works.

From the first religious gardens to Dan Pearson’s heavenly Tokachi garden in Japan, each entry illustrates a key work by the designer, describes the garden, and evokes the unique spirit and ethos of their work. Images span four millennia, from ancient Persian gardens to the naturalistic designs of today, with landscapes from Chanticleer to Central Park, Sissinghurst to Versailles. The biggest names and rising stars of contemporary garden design are showcased alongside iconic figures of the past, including Capability Brown, Andrea Cochran, Antoni Gaudí, Dan Hinkley, Gertrude Jekyll, Christopher Lloyd, Cornelia Oberlander, Charles Platt, Carlo Scarpa, Piet Oudolf, and more.

The Garden Book is an essential reference and exquisite gift, offering today’s gardeners infinite inspiration to create their own signature spaces, whatever their landscape.
