This book goes where few have gone before, into 14 very different
gardens belonging to residents of New York City. These private
worlds are the work of 10 major landscape designers, who
brilliantly balance visual pleasure with ecological sustainability
in challenging urban settings. Design historian Lisa Zeiger tells
lively stories about the designers and their plants, bringing to
their work her eye for historical precedent and contemporary
aesthetics. Readers will appreciate their individual ways of
highlighting plant life with architectural structures, natural
stone and repurposed woods, old and custom vessels, and carefully
curated furniture. Although the gardens are high-end by definition,
they are all respites in which nature transcends luxury. They
answer to the lives of plants, and to the residents' desire for
private outdoor space that enhances quiet time and social life.
