About the Book

A thorough revision of Judith B. Tankard's highly praised study of gardens from the Arts and Crafts movement--a style that remains popular more than a century after it began.

Book Synopsis

"The ever-alluring Arts and Crafts garden...is profoundly relevant to our 21st-century needs." --Sam Watters, author of Gardens for a Beautiful America

In Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement, landscape scholar Judith B. Tankard surveys the inspirations, characteristics, and development of garden design during this iconic movement. Tankard presents a selection of houses and gardens of the era from Great Britain and North America. With almost 300 illustrations and photographs, and an emphasis on the diversity of designers who helped forge the movement, Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement is an essential resource for this truly distinct approach to garden design.

From the Back Cover

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.
