Synopsis Public Parks, Private Gardens by : Colta Ives
The spectacular transformation of Paris during the 19th century into a city of tree-lined boulevards and public parks both redesigned the capital and inspired the era’s great Impressionist artists. The renewed landscape gave crowded, displaced urban dwellers green spaces to enjoy, while suburbanites and country-dwellers began cultivating their own flower gardens. As public engagement with gardening grew, artists increasingly featured flowers and parks in their work. Public Parks, Private Gardens includes masterworks by artists such as Bonnard, Cassatt, Cézanne, Corot, Daumier, Van Gogh, Manet, Matisse, Monet, and Seurat. Many of these artists were themselves avid gardeners, and they painted parks and gardens as the distinctive scenery of contemporary life. Writing from the perspective of both a distinguished art historian and a trained landscape designer, Colta Ives provides new insights not only into these essential works, but also into this extraordinarily creative period in France’s history.

Synopsis Private Gardens of Georgia by : Polly McLeod Mattox
The Private Gardens of Georgia is a tour of thirty of the most beautiful gardens across Georgia, and shows how each has evolved into a place of charm and tranquility. These private oases illustrate unique plant and terrain differences at all seasons of the year and reveal the unique diversity found from the mountains to the piedmont and south Georgia, to the coast and the Golden Isles. Along with a brief history of each garden is fascinating information on the extensive diversity of plant materials that are suitable not only to these regions of Georgia, but to other areas in the southeastern United States.
