This new edition includes more than one thousand concise entries,
organized by state and city, listing specific details on the
location, hours, and history of each garden. For each state,
gardens are located on a map. The focus is on historic gardens in
existence for over seventy-five years. Some are outstanding
examples of their era, many are associated with a distinguished
person or historical event, others are noteworthy for pioneering
designs or innovative plant material.
Originally published in 1988.
