Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review, Verlyn Klinkenborg
This is the kind of book in which you can simply luxuriate if you like but which will also cause you to begin taking notes or to scratch emendations into your garden plan.
Book Description
The idea of the garden as an outdoor living room, a seamless extension of the planning and decoration of the house, was an Arts and Crafts invention. Guided by a rejection of ostentatious display and an insistence on simplicity, craftsmanship, tradition, and a reverence for nature in all its forms, Arts and Crafts designers established a moral agenda in garden-making.
This small, beautifully illustrated book looks at the key gardens of the movement in Britain, Europe, and America, showing how they became an extension of interior design and how this new approach informed the growing passion for gardening in the 20th century. The work of such well-known garden designers as Gertrude Jekyll, William Robinson, and William Morris is featured. AUTHOR BIO: Wendy Hitchmough is an art historian specializing in the architecture and design of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She is curator at Charleston, the Bloomsbury artists' home in Sussex, England. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
