About this title

From the Inside Flap:

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: "An armchair expedition through one of Southern California's greatest public gardens.... An outstanding tribute." The Southern California Gardener

"[The Huntington Botanical Gardens are] arguably the finest extant example of Southern California's golden age of horticulture, a period that lasted from the late 19th century through the 1920s." Horticulture

"In page after page of color photographs by Don Normark, the history of the garden and essays on the theme gardens and special collections come to vivid life. Normark is particularly adept at capturing the moods of the various landscapes, from the serene Japanese Garden to the prickly Desert Garden, which holds the world’s largest collection of cactuses." San Diego Union-Tribune
