Summary: Innovative and creative look @ American Landscape Architects
Review: James Trulove knows Landscape Architects and has selected a wide ranging group of styles and projects from some of America's best Landscape Architects. To the point text forces the reader to focus on the garden as image, as environment, as designed space! I particularly liked the refreshing, bold, and imaginative tropical gardens of Raymond Jungles, Inc.

Summary: Excellent and informative, both for pleasure and reference
Review: This is an excellent book that looks at many exciting designers and some of their gardens (A.E. Bye, Raymond Jungles, Dan Kiley, Steve Martino, Susan Child, Rios Assoc., Murase, Cardasis, Delaney, Isobelle C. Greene, etc). It is a great inspiration to a landscape designer, and is helpful in that it tells the reader the plant and hard materials that have been used in the featured gardens. It also cites the project brief as well as the site limitations for each garden. A really great book that looks nice on my coffee table AND is useful to me in my work as a landscape designer. Truly inspirational, well-researched, and beauftifully presented. BUY IT!
