Outstanding American Gardens: A Celebration: 25 Years of the Garden Conservancy

I liked the book. I immediately went outside and mowed my lawn, watered my sorry plants and trimmed my bushes. Gorgeous gardens. Easy to see how some creative types could get some dynamite ideas for their homes and gardens. Very impressive. The book and the beauteous gardens. Arranged by geographical location in the USA, thereby giving different residents of said areas some ideas as to what their gardens could be.

Beautiful book. Lots of gardens. I will be enjoying this book for a long time. The book that I go back many times to get some ideas about gardening.

This covers only a few gardens that seem to be connected to people in the organization that published the book.

This is a very frustrating book. There are beautiful pictures of bits and pieces of gorgeous gardens, but nothing that shows the full garden. No layouts, no design information, no plant selections to speak of. Just a closeup of a flower bed here, one angle of a garden room there, the wall of a house over here... The book is almost too aggravating to read. The text spends more time talking about the garden owners and the Conservancy than it does about the garden itself, and you certainly have no real sense of each garden after reading the book. I looked up online some of the gardens I'd liked best because I couldn't tell what they were actually like. This book is far more a Conservancy ad than a useful or beautiful garden book.

Great inspirational book!! Lots of information in a descriptive way.

Beautiful photos. The Garden Conservancy is a wonderful organization and I look forward to visiting a few outstanding American gardens through their Open Days program this year.

this book is a treasure house of beautiful american gardens. the different locales and types of gardens are given excellent coverage in one volume.

Upon removing the book from the shipping box, the cover fell apart from the pages. The cover is in one piece, the pages in another. This book was rated 'very good' by the seller.
