Gardens of the Hudson Valley

by Steve Gross, Susan Daley, Susan Lowry, and Nancy Berner

Gardens of the Hudson Valley, with photography by Steve Gross and Susan Daley, text by Susan Lowry and Nancy Berner, and a foreword by Gregory Long, looks at twenty-five gardens upstate that are connected to this most majestic of American rivers. Here are the pleasure grounds of gilded age oligarchs, key works by some of the seminal figures in American landscape history, and contemporary designs that respond to the region’s unique ecology. This book shows the Hudson Valley to be a veritable tour of America’s gardening heritage. And always there is that silvery ribbon of river drawing your eye toward some unseen world just around the bend.
