As the title suggests, this
is a survey of some of the greatest gardens of the world,
presented through magnificent photographic images and
the descriptions of legendary garden designer and writer
Hobhouse. Shown here are the oases of the Middle East,
the gardens of Chinese scholars, Japanese sages and Renaissance
humanists, French baroque gardens, the English landscape
gardens of Capability Brown and his followers. Here too
are the gardens of the great modern designers, among
them Roberto Burle Marx, Fernando Caruncho, Dan Kiley,
John Brookes and James van Sweden.
Published in association with an exhibition at the
