This book is essential for anyone seeking a visual history and interesting perspectives of grand gardens--from the Villa d'Este and Versailles to contemporary experiences of city parks."--Marilyn Symmes, editor and author, "Fountains: Splash and Spectacle, Water and Design from the Renaissance to the Present" ""The Changing Garden" is the first book that asks us to stop and appreciate many of the 'documents' of the history of European and American gardens.
