3.0 out of 5 starsInspiration, Not Instruction
By Alain Moreau on February 25, 2009
Format: Paperback
I have read this book and own it. It is one I revisit for its lush photographs and to remind me of my vision for my own garden. The work is rich with history and inspiring photos, however the subject tends to be large grounds and commercial developments. It is not intended to be instructional, nor does it really explain the design process when creating a tropical landscape. Some photos label plant materials used, while others just focus on landscape structures. It is worth owning, but is limited in its utility.

3.0 out of 5 starsJust a plain decoration book ... with an attractive topic
By www.delalonde.com on May 14, 2000
Format: Hardcover
You will find in this books the kind of articles you read in decoration magazines. Pictures are big but don't expect any artistic originality. A useful book if you plan to plant a tropical garden in your backyard.

4.0 out of 5 starsInspiration for both the armchair gardener and the serious enthusiast
By linda's books on June 8, 2008
Format: Paperback
Photographs and descriptions of some of the loveliest gardens in Asia, both traditional and contempory, are featured in this magnificent exposition. The introduction presents a brief history of the interchange of ideas between the tropics of Asia and the exploring nations of Europe as to garden design. The featured gardens are grouped into Religious and Royal, Botanical, Colonial, and Contemporary. A final chapter on garden features showcases a number of path and walkway designs as well as ornamental sculpture, pavilions, fences, stairways, and water elements. Bibliography, index. For additional cultivation information on many of these plants, see Ornamental Plants & Flowers of Tropical Mexico.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Tropical Garden
By Dr. Vivienne Kruger on October 23, 2003
Format: Hardcover
Warren and Tettoni pair up again with luscious footage in The Tropical Garden. For those world travelers in whom Bali has inspired a love of tropical flowers, plants, and gardens, this book will bring back the warmth and splendor of the perpetual latitudes of summer. It contains 291 full-color illustrations of the flamboyant diversity of tropical flora in hotel, royal, religious, botanical, museum, palace, water, presidential, and colonial gardens from Bali to Java to Hawaii, Rangoon, Bangkok, Singapore, and Malaysia. Warren's text and Tettoni's photographs show us a paradise of fruitful blooms and eternal abundance, with delightful coverage of well-styled Balinese gardens in Sanur and the posh Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay. Brilliant, rebellious, downtrodden French artist Paul Gaugin described an equivalent utopia in an 1890 letter penned from Tahiti: "Out there at least, with winterless skies overhead and wonderfully fertile ground underfoot, Tahitians only have to lift their arms to gather their food. . . . Whereas in Europe men and women satisfy their needs only after ceaseless toil, contending all the while with convulsions of cold and hunger, prey to poverty. The Tahitians, blessed inhabitants of Oceania's unknown paradise, know only the sweet things life has to offer. For them, life is singing and loving." Gaugin could just as well have been describing the tropical treasure that is Bali--lying succulent and verdant under the benevolent, life-giving equatorial sun.
