Besides leaving its mark on building styles and decorative art, the Arts and Crafts era also significantly shaped garden design. Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement, by Judith B. Tankard, explores how celebrated artists of the movement such as William Morris and Gertrude Jekyll helped popularize the idea of the garden as an integral part of the home. With archival images, period paintings, garden plans, and contemporary photography, this revised and expanded edition provides compelling insights into one of the most influential time periods in gardening.
