　　As a tribute to the gardening of a unique region this volume

portrays 32 of the most celebrated gardens of the American South,

ranging from the grand gardens of the Antebellum Plantations to

strikingly simple, creative plantings of the modern era. Drawing

from primary sources as well as first-hand impressions of each

garden featured, the author reveals the special beauty of southern

gardens along with the personalities of their gardeners. This

volume, illustrated with 200 specially commissioned photographs in

colour and many vintage prints, surveys the southern garden from

1750 to the present. It includes early gardeners who introduced new

plants and garden designs to the early coastal plantations;

homesteaders who moved inland as far west as Tennessee and planted

small, practical gardens; industrialists who used new money to

build large formal gardens, such as the Vanderbilt country estate

in Asheville, North Carolina; and, finally, 20th-century

individuals whose rustic getaways consist of fantastic country

grounds or quaint walled gardens in cities. From reconstructed

sites to recent plantings, this is a treasury of the southern

garden - offering ideas for all gardeners or inspiration for the

armchair traveller.

　　Martin, the author of wildflower books and a weekly gardening

column, and photographer Schilling have produced a book that is

both beautiful and informative. With over 200 full-color pictures,

vintage prints, and botanical illustrations, this is not just a

picture book, for the text is extensive, providing histories of 32

celebrated Southern gardens and their founders. Arrangement is

chronological, beginning with the Elizabethan Gardens in North

Carolina and ending with gardens established since 1940. Typical of

the entries, the four-page essay "Monticello" includes a full-page

color photo of the house and lawns, a flower garden plan drawn by

Thomas Jefferson, a color photo of tulips, a drawing of English

peas, a two-page color spread of the vegetable garden, a full-page

color photo of part of the vegetable garden, and a color photo of

hollyhocks. Appendixes include "Suggested Tours," "Travel Guide,"

"Gardening Notes," and "Familiar Plants and Animals." Essential for

gardening collections in the Southeast and a good choice for any

gardening collection.
