Gardens Are for People

Third Edition
by Thomas Church, Grace Hall, and Michael Laurie

This classic work on landscape architecture has been required reading for the residential garden design professional, student, and generalist since its publication in 1955. Thomas Church was called the last great traditional garden designer and the first great modern garden designer. Gardens Are for People contains the essence of his design philosophy, centered on the idea that the garden should be regarded as a logical extension of the house. Amply illustrated by site plans and photographs of some of the 2,000 gardens Church designed during the course of his career, the third edition has a new Preface as well as a selected bibliography of writings by and about Church.
