The American Meadow Garden; Published by Timber Press with John Greenlee as my writer. OK, OK most folks think I was John’s photographer, but if you are reading this you KNOW photographers get equal billing. Whoever’s book it is, I think we made a good team. The book won awards from The Garden Writers Association and The American Horticultural Society. It begins with a survey of natural meadows around the United States, showing the magnificent variety of meadows and grass ecologies that form the basis of any garden meadow. The book then profiles garden meadows in regions across the country from Chicago, St Louis, Albuquerque and Los Angeles and includes an encyclopedia of grasses. Read more on the Amazon order page. -
Now Sold Out and Out of Print. A CD of the plant photographs in searchable database can be ordered here. The inspiration for the Summer-Dry book in the PhotoBotanic Learning Center, this beautiful 320-page book features more than 650 native Californian and Mediterranean plants photographed in garden settings. It showcases landscaping in summer-dry climates such as the West Coast of California and other Mediterranean regions of the world. If we are to promote sustainable garden practices in California and other summer-dry climates we need to change the aesthetic of what we expect to see in a garden photograph to give gardeners a new way of considering beauty in gardens.
