Synopsis
Bali is a tropical island with beautiful landscapes, mountains, forests and orchards. The coastal plains are covered by rice fields and vegetable gardens, but cultivation of the land is not restricted to farming: the island also boasts a wealth of gardens found in the grounds of temples, palaces, hotels and private houses where greenery and tropical flowers are mixed with ornamental sculpture, pools and running water. This book presents photographs of a selection of the best of these gardens, and the text examines both traditional and contemporary gardens, as well as looking at the broader physical and cultural environment in which these are found.
