Breaking Ground P/B

Description

The 200 glorious photographs by Erica Lennard and the engaging text by garden writer and designer Page Dickey capture the spirit and genius of these ten designers. A chapter is devoted to each designer - his or her sources of inspiration, style, philosophy, and method of creation. From the bold Southern Californian designs of Nancy Power to the urban geometrics of Madison Cox to the updated French formal style of Louis Benech to the romantic country gardens of Nancy McCabe, BREAKING GROUND offers bolts of wisdom from the eminent designers whose work has redefined garden design categories.
