Private Gardens of the Potomac and Chesapeake: Washington, DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia (Hardcover)

Spanning from the Washington, DC, Metro Area to the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, this fascinating tour of 15 gardens by well-known designers illuminates the sophisticated yet inviting landscape style of the Capital region. Hidden from the public, they are tucked into tiny urban backyards, set into suburban enclaves, or preside over open views: A waterfront garden of natives that draws local wildlife; a refined townhouse terrace with crisp paving; a sprawling property with plants massed to create year-round colour and sculptural effect. In addition to a plan and plant list, each project includes a description of the owners' goals and the principles behind the design. Every garden responds to the demands of the site, climate, and clients' needs. Together they share the light-handed information about design and ecological intelligence that modern gardeners will appreciate.
