Summary:

"In original and inviting gardens inspired by the lush native plants of his adopted home of Miami, landscape designer Raymond Jungles uses nature as a means of expression. Jungles sculpts the land into dramatic forms, creating steep bluffs and cool grottoes, formal garden rooms and hidden clearings. His use of plants, drawn largely from those native to the subtropical region, emphasizes their sculptural beauty. Cleverly designed fountains, water walls, elegant pools, and naturalistic ponds provide tranquil resting spots." "The Colors of Nature features more than twenty residential projects in and around Florida. From a rooftop garden thirty-four stories in the air to a natural setting of ponds and islands surrounding a 1920s residence to an informal green space in the Pearl Islands of Panama, Jungles presents vibrant spaces that complement the natural environment. His modern vocabulary is on display in beautiful color photographs that document each landscape in both panoramic views and intimate details. Jungles's own descriptions of each garden address the process of making the landscape a swell as the design elements that tie each composition to common experiences of nature."--BOOK JACKET.
