From Library Journal
Martin, the author of wildflower books and a weekly gardening column, and photographer Schilling have produced a book that is both beautiful and informative. With over 200 full-color pictures, vintage prints, and botanical illustrations, this is not just a picture book, for the text is extensive, providing histories of 32 celebrated Southern gardens and their founders. Arrangement is chronological, beginning with the Elizabethan Gardens in North Carolina and ending with gardens established since 1940. Typical of the entries, the four-page essay "Monticello" includes a full-page color photo of the house and lawns, a flower garden plan drawn by Thomas Jefferson, a color photo of tulips, a drawing of English peas, a two-page color spread of the vegetable garden, a full-page color photo of part of the vegetable garden, and a color photo of hollyhocks. Appendixes include "Suggested Tours," "Travel Guide," "Gardening Notes," and "Familiar Plants and Animals." Essential for gardening collections in the Southeast and a good choice for any gardening collection.
