Fascinating tour of the spiritual foundation of gardens

The author takes us on a tour of gardens from a number of different cultures. He describes and explains the importance of color, values, beliefs, and spiritual factors in the design of gardens and in the selection of plants, colors and other factors. The book is loaded with interesting facts and insights. The photos are beautiful. It is book to be enjoyed one page at a time and well worth picking up many times to flip through the pages. Only fault is that the pages are packed with information and the relatively small size of the book results in a small font....so you'll need your reading glasses. Enjoy!!
