Private Gardens of the Potomac & Chesapeake

Claudia Kousoulas, Foreword by Adrian Higgins

Spectacular photographs and insightful text provide an in-depth tour of 15 private gardens designed by well-known landscape architects

For everyone interested in creating modern, environmentally attuned gardens in the Potomac and Chesapeake region

The region’s top landscape architects share their design and planting approaches for urban, suburban, and rural settings

Spanning from the Washington, DC, Metro Area to the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, this fascinating tour of 15 gardens by well-known designers illuminates the sophisticated yet inviting landscape style of the Capital region. Hidden from the public, the gardens are tucked into tiny urban backyards, are set into suburban enclaves, or preside over open views: a waterfront garden of natives that draws local wildlife, a refined townhouse terrace with crisp paving, a sprawling property with plants massed to create year-round color and sculptural effect. In addition to a plan and plant list, each project includes a description of the owners’ goals and the principles behind the design. Every garden responds to the demands of the site, climate, and clients’ needs. Together they share the light-handed information about design and ecological intelligence that modern gardeners will appreciate.
