From Library Journal:

Using beautiful color photos featuring garden vistas and black-and-white photos of garden designers and garden sketches, Plumptre covers modern garden design from the Arts and Crafts Movement of the 19th century to the present time. Plumptre makes good use of his credentials as an authority on garden design in capturing the ideas and designs of the most prominent English practitioners as seen through European and American gardens. The latter part of the book covers architecture, formal and informal shapes, borders, water features, ornaments, shrubs and trees, and small gardens as elements of garden design. This is an ideal source for the reader who needs pertinent information on garden design with an emphasis on English designers. The absence of a bibliography is remedied by the numerous bibliographical references throughout the text to source material. Useful for larger public and academic libraries collecting in the garden design area.?Dale Luchsinger, Athens Area Technical Inst., Ga.
