About this title

Synopsis

Tropical gardens are man-made paradises on earth: The seductive perfume of exotic flowers, gently splashing water and unimaginable shades of colors provide the beholder with the setting for a dream. Since many are privately owned, this publication allows readers to look behind the gates and to discover the stunning beauty of some of the most magnificent tropical gardens of the world. These veritable lands of wonder betray the sure instinct and eye for details as well as the botanical knowledge of their landscape architects and gardeners. In addition to the creative arrangement of plants and trees, lakes and creeks with other natural treasures, the selected gardens show numerous ways of how added elements such as bridges, gazebos and garden furniture enhance the enchanting environment and accommodate the human visitor.

They offer breathtaking beauty and ample opportunity to let one's spirit flow while enjoying with all senses a full range of experiences - be it the rustle of palm trees, the twitter of hummingbirds, a cornucopia of lush colors, or the exotic scent of vanilla, cinnamon and orchids. All combine to put body, spirit, and soul into peace and harmony.

This volume presents exhilarating landscapes from all tropical regions of the world, displaying thrillingly ingeniou arrangements of plants and trees. These are intersperse: by pavilions, statues, bridges, and waterfalls that blend harmoniously with their enchanting surroundings. With su instincts, botanical expertise, and great attention to detail landscape architects and gardeners have succeeded in creating veritable little pieces of paradise.
