"The Gardens of New York" presents the best of the city's great gardens, many of which have never before been photographed for publication until now. Each of the book's 30 gardens is shown in glorious, full color, and from many vistas, to better showcase the marvellous range in scale and creativity. These include a tiny water garden in a splendid contemporary apartment; the Japanese garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden; inaccessible roof gardens atop the Museum of Modern Art; and, gardens with the most breathtaking views of Central Park, the Hudson River, and lower Manhattan. The book highlights the notable work by both garden designers and landscape architects, including Dan Kiley, Ken Smith, and Topher Delaney. It also celebrates the contributions of private home owners, who have lovingly planned and cultivated their own unique spaces within a challenging urban environment. With its spectacular imagery and rich, comprehensive text, "The Gardens of New York" is sure to inspire urban planners, landscape architects, homeowners, and all those that appreciate the beauty of urban gardens.
