Chicago botanic garden

Produced under the auspices of the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Encyclopedia of Gardens is a major international reference work that includes more than 650 entries on a wide range of topics, from important people in the history of gardening and landscaping throughout the ages (Pliny, Roberto Burle Marx) to specific sites, both historical and existing (Alhambra, Stowe) to surveys of types and styles of gardens as well as of gardening movements, to the traditions of specific geographic regions (Aztec gardens, Arts and Crafts movement, Africa) to materials and techniques (Cloche, Sundial).
Extensively illustrated with both black-and-white and color photographs, as well as dozens of line drawings illustrating plans, techniques, and tools, the Encyclopedia of Gardens will be indispensable for garden historians, teachers and students of archaeology, garden history, and landscape architecture; professional and amateur gardeners; and interested general readers.
