As a photographer, Richard Brown has spent countless hours in the world's grandest and most beautiful gardens. While working in these breathtaking locations, he began to make a wish list of what would go into his ideal garden. But when he tried to re-create these elements on his own modest property in northern Vermont, the plants didn't survive and the design looked out of place. From this experience, Brown learned to take the principles he learned from gifted gardeners and adapt them to what he could really achieve - to let the land and his own lifestyle guide the development of his garden and not to impose an ideal derived from someone else's. The result is a book that both delights and inspires through its glorious garden photography and shows in a practical way what you can do to make your own beautiful personal garden.
