Modern Garden

"The story of the modern garden has - until now - received little or no attention in the vast canon of garden literature. Jane Brown has been captivated by the secret story of the modern garden for more than a decade, mining its little-known history for revolutionary ideas and rediscovering long-lost masterpieces. Accompanying her accessible and wide-ranging text are illustrations and rarely seen historical photographs, as well as stunning contemporary photographs of eleven classic modern gardens. With today's ecological concerns and green design, the lessons of the modern garden for the twenty-first century are eminently useful. This publication weaves a rich tapestry of ideas and ideals, animated by the designers and people who dreamed them."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: It would be overly imaginative to suggest that the pioneers of modern design gave a great deal of their time to gardens: gardens do not bring in high fees nor great reputations, the chief factors that have relegated them to a subsidiary consideration.
