Book Summary
What makes a garden "authentic"? For American gardeners, this question can be
vexing. Because America is a comparatively young nation, it hasn't had much time
to develop an indigenous garden style. Gardeners have tended to turn to other
national traditions--such as Italy's, Japan's, or England's--for inspiration.
The unhappy result of this piecemeal stylistic borrowing has been the creation
of gardens that bear no relationship to local landscapes and history, and that
have no connection with our daily lives.
Clair Sawyers shows this tendency can be reversed: how we can create gardens
that are both deeply rooted in their surroundings and deeply satisfying to their
creators and owners.
