Linda Rutenberg's images capture an astonishing world hidden in plain sight. By photographing public and botanical gardens at night, Rutenberg reveals a luminous landscape of plants, colors, shadows, and light. Twenty-one gardens throughout NorthAmerica are included, each with intimate portraits of their regional flowers and plants glowing in the blackness, revealing a secret nighttime world of subtle yet vibrant beauty. An essay by celebrated author Christopher Dewdney illuminates the mystique of gardens and the nature of seeing. The Garden at Night will enchant art-lovers and garden-lovers alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful photography, a nice coffee table book,
By Sheri Ann Richerson "ExoticGardening.com" (Marion, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Garden at Night: Private Views of Public Edens (Hardcover)
The Garden At Night contains some fantastic photographs allowing readers a glimpse into public gardens at a time that they might not otherwise be able to see them.The night garden has a mystery all its own and I was a little disappointed when the book did not showcase more night blooming plants. The book showcases twenty-one different gardens. Each section has historical and geographical information pertaining to each garden. This is a lovely coffee table book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
