First sentence: Although numerous books have been written about modern architecture in southern California, there is no book devoted society to the subject of modern landscape design or modernist gardens in the southland.
Description: "Private Landscapes profiles nineteen significant gardens and their accompanying houses by these celebrated architects. Using archival photographs and newly commissioned color images, along with plans and details of restorations and reinterpretations. Private Landscapes provides a never-before-seen look at these landmark gardens. As beautiful and practical now as they were 50 years ago, these designs continue to provide inspiration for gardeners and designers everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.
