This is not your usual garden book. Yes, like all excellent garden books, it is about an exceptionally beautiful house and garden and has 160+ great color photos, many full- or double-page size. But most of these books, after a brief perusal, go on the bookshelf or coffee table.
This book you will really explore, as it is more than pleasant entertainment. It is structured as a walking tour; you always know where you are in the house and gardens and the vantage point from which the photos are taken, creating a truly immersive experience. Along the walk, text commentary provides insight and anecdotes on your encounters with plants, trees, installations, architecture, crafts, and garden design.
It sketches the journey started by Jack Lenor Larsen in 1962 and continued by us since 1989, as we jointly developed this gem over 60+ years.
