Aprašymas

A grand survey of the world's most iconic gardens from 1900 to now. These are the landscapes that have come to define the garden as we know it today.

Garden surveys often take a broad historical overview, travelling back to the formal gardens of the 18th century or even earlier. Iconic Gardens explores the most exciting, innovative and influential domestic gardens of the 20th and 21st centuries, telling the story of modern outdoor spaces in greater depth than ever before and in the context of the major design movements of the period.

From Christopher Lloyd's Great Dixter to Geoffrey Bawa's Lunuganga, and Niki de Saint Phalle's Tarot Garden to the Sitio Burle Marx in Brazil, these are the world's most admired and visited modern landscapes alongside lesser-known gems that have had an outsized influence on contemporary garden design. This is a journey through many styles and movements, from Arts and Crafts through Modernism and to the naturalistic planting movement of the present day.

Written and curated by expert garden design writer Tim Richardson, this definitive resource is packed with ideas and inspiration for garden lovers everywhere.
