Indoor-outdoor living has become a valued component of many of today s homes, and a lot of design philosophy has emerged along with their development about how a landscape can enhance both the architecture and the quality of the inhabitants lives. Much of this is unknown to today s homeowners, however, and will be explored fully here as reinterpreted by today s leading garden designers. Plenty of gorgeous photos and in-depth plant information will give garden-enthusiast readers inspiration and the tools to re-create the planting schemes shown within. The 35 featured gardens are from across the US and created by today s leading landscape designers including Reed Hilderbrand, Mia Lehrer, Wagner Hodgson, Margaret McCurry, Marmol Radziner, Judy Kameon/Elysian Landscapes, Raymond Jungles, and Terremoto, with all contemporary photography by equally talented contemporary photographers. Several homes are owned by celebrities, including Mandy Moore, the founders of Vince clothing, and others.
"Across more than three hundred pages of historical, architectural, horticultural, and sociological content, Gardens for Modern Houses offers readers bountiful information on a design philosophy and lifestyle that continue to bear new blossoms, and inspiration for how to preserve the beauty and bounty nature lends freely. Perhaps most importantly, it shows that adding modern design value at home can be yours for the price of dirty hands and elbow grease." — The Magazine Antiques

Contemporary photos and in-depth plant information are designed to give garden and architecture enthusiasts inspiration and tools to re-create the illustrated plantings and show how a landscape can enhance both a house’s architecture and the quality of its inhabitants’ lives." — Detroit News
