520 $aTropical gardens are some of the most spectacular
to be found anywhere. The rich diversity of tropical flora
and climates allows for an astonishing variety of forms,
both native and introduced. Modern tropical gardens afford a
display of striking plants from all over the world, in
arrangements that blend the traditions of many countries and
cultures. This highly successful compendium presents a
selection of the most beautiful gardens of Hawaii, Thailand,
Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, including Bali. For this
revised edition, William Warren, a widely recognized
authority on the subject, and Luca Invernizzi Tettoni, the
internationally renowned photographer, have added a number
of magnificent new gardens. Traditional and modern types are
considered, and the origins and individual features of each
example are discussed in full. With a special section giving
information on garden features, this will be a source of
ideas and inspiration to gardeners both in the tropics and
in temperate regions.
