Influential Gardeners by Andrew Wilson
Revealing the history and development of garden and landscape design in the 20th century, this book focuses on the key personalities who have shaped, and continue to shape, today's taste in gardens. From early stars such as Gertrude Jekyll, Thomas Church and Jeffrey Jellicoe to pivotal contemporary designers such as Kethryn Gustafson, Peter Walker and Jacques Wirtz, this overview aims to put the complete spectrum of garden design into perspective. It contains profiles of 56 famous garden and landscape designers, with photographs, archive pictures and plans of their work.
