This is my favorite book of gardening design ideas to date. If you are looking for simple, modern, clean garden design, this is it. I love the use of texture and tasteful, understated planting combinations. I have gone through and flagged page after page of ideas I want to try in my own garden. Many gardening books I have looked through in the past feel like they are tossing everything into the pot: flower color, leaf texture, bold, bright, trailing, statement…to make one big mess. This is much more restrained, offering the opportunity to soak in symmetry and a calming color palette. That is my take anyway! Thank you for the inspiration. A five star book for my gardening needs!

- From AD100 landscape architect Edmund Hollander, a collection of spectacular projects celebrating the way we live outdoors, from pastoral retreats to seaside escapes to rooftop refuges.
In this book, Hollander explores the idea of home as the natural surroundings that people live in: a place of living, changing beauty, refuge, and above all, joy, where family and friends gather to create a lifetime of memories.
The book presents homes in the countryside, along the coast, and in town—and features a rich diversity of projects, from country estates to rooftop gardens. Throughout, Hollander discusses essential elements in his firm’s work: the importance of the procession of entry to a house, as well as its context in the landscape; the positioning of plant life and trees; the way people move into and through a property; and the way a garden looks and changes through the seasons. Within each project there are a striking variety of components—outdoor rooms for living and lounging, including oceanside hearths, infinity pools, and verdant dining spaces, as well as pollinator gardens, naturalistic meadows, and tranquil allées. Site maps illuminate each site, and the images capture moments large and small, from views of winding pathways to a vine-covered arbor and a rabbit enjoying flowers at dawn.
