The Authentic Garden // by Richard Hartlage & Sandy Fischer

In contemporary American garden design, plants are making a comeback. As movements of architectural, naturalistic, meadow, matrix, graphic & ecological planting design have been adopted by the High Line in New York and Citygarden in St. Louis, they have rekindled interest in using plants that suit a given site's ecology - and letting plants, rather than hardscape elements, lead design. The sixty gardens featured in this book are all united by an immediately perceptible, intelligent selection of plants that create an enthralling, memorable, and fitting sense of place: this is what makes a garden truly authentic.
