This is the new and revised edition of The New York Botanical Garden: Revised and Updated Edition
(Abrams, 2016), originally published 11 years ago. This edition includes essays and photos of some of the new gardens by contemporary designers. You don't want to miss it, and a great gift for any designer or gardener.
