The fourteen gardens presented in this book by landscape architect Ron Herman provide a rich sampling of the work of a man who, in his own words, has been “involved in gardening and plants for most of my life. When I was growing up in Southern California, I worked with my father, who was a nurseryman, horticulturalist, and garden builder.” He later went on to study landscape architecture at UC Berkeley and the University of Kyoto and then began a several decades-long career as one of the most distinguished and celebrated landscape architects in the United States. Heavily influenced by his experiences in Japan, a country he has returned to often, Herman’s gardens are nevertheless an eclectic mix of styles and approches that reflect his broad view of garden design. Contents: Style of His Own by Marc Trieb; On Being a Landscape Architect by Ron Herman; Reports on all fourteen gardens.
