"Martha Brookes Hutcheson (1871-1959) was one of the first American women landscape architects to receive professional training. As did many of her female colleagues, she specialized in garden design, the topic of her acclaimed book, The Spirit of the Garden. When first published in 1923, the volume was both a critical and commercial success, widely praised for its articulation of the architectural principles of garden design. "Every garden lover," advised one contemporary reviewer, "should have it on a most convenient table."". "Among the photographs illustrating Hutcheson's designs are examples from Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, Massachusetts; the Longfellow National Historic Site in Cambridge; and Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center in Gladstone, New Jersey - all of which are now open to the public."--BOOK JACKET.
