Places for the Spirit
Traditional African American Gardens
by Vaughn Sills, Lowry Pie, Hilton Als
More than 80 photographs by Vaughn Sills of vernacular African American gardens document an important but endangered element of American culture. The gardens and pictures are beautiful, even moving. The use of symbolism and meaning in the plant and design vocabulary employed is remarkable and really transforms these places into works of art. And
Places for the Spirit is most welcome for bringing a necessary note of diversity to books about gardening.
