Gardens of the North Shore of Chicago, Hardback Book

Gardens of the North Shore of Chicago Hardback

Hardback

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.
