The Southern Garden

The Southern Garden
- Used Book in Good Condition
Southerners have always gardened with great style. The temperate climate of the American South allows the garden to serve as an extension of a home's interior. With patios, terraces, and pools, Southern homes frequently spill into outdoor living space. The long growing season provides ample opportunity to carve these areas and the surrounding landscape into beautiful gardens. From the vast estate gardens to the simplest potager supplying juicy tomatoes throughout the summer, the garden holds a place of supremacy in the Southern imagination. This book illustrates a range of Southern gardens, both grand and simple, with over 200 photographs. The American South extends over five garden zones and allows for a wide range of garden styles and plantings, from the rolling hills of Virginia to the tropicality of New Orleans or the plains of Texas. The monthly gardening feature of "Southern Accents" has long been a popular staple of the magazine and readers are herein offered an overview by gardening editor Lydia Longshore.
