From early stars such as Vita Sackville-West, Gertrude Jekyll, and Nancy Lancaster through contemporary leading practitioners, including Martha Schwarz, Dan Pearson, Oehme van Sweden, and Arabella Lennox-Boyd, Influential Gardeners encompasses the entire spectrum of garden design and puts its elements and influences into a coherent perspective. Biographical details, photographs, quotations, personal anecdotes, and explanations of important projects and key motifs of each designer are showcased.
This is an essential reference for anyone -- whether a practicing garden designer or an enthusiast -- who wishes to know more about the greats in garden design.
