Canyon Gardens brings into focus a wealth of new study and commentary on early Puebloan landscapes, including compact gardens and terraces, plazas and courtyards, site planning, the integration of building and landscape design, and a surprisingly wide range of plant use. It also examines the meaning of these unique historic landscapes in relation to modern landscape architecture and horticulture in the Southwest.A startling conclusion: many early open spaces built by the Pueblos form distinct patterns and are designed landscapes in every sense of the word.
"The editors have produced... a volume that breaks new ground and complements their landmark Anasazi Architecture and American Design." - American Archaeology "More than a critique... this fine book offers both inspiration and guidance for mending our ways and diminishing our environmental impacts." - Su Casa "No bragging about academic accomplishments here... a readable, fascinating look at the ancient landscape of the Ancestral Puebloans." - New Mexico Magazine"
