Description :
A privileged view of private gardens along the shore of Lake Michigan,
Chicago's Gold Coast. Ben Lenhardt, an avid gardener and preservationist,
explores the rich tradition of gardening along the shore of Lake Michigan from
Evanston to Lake Bluff. This area, which includes Winnetka, Highland Park,
and Lake Forest, is one of the most affluent in the United States, and the
gardens are verdant retreats, lushly planted and meticulously maintained.
Twenty five gardens are included, organized according to their design classic,
naturalistic, country, and experimental. Lenhardt's authoritative and engaging
descriptions, based on detailed interviews with the owners, are complemented
by vivid images by noted landscape photographer Scott Shigley.
