First line

Artists have long observed gardens.

From the rear cover

"For centuries, artists have represented the glories of wondrous gardens. Like a vivid bouquet of flowers, "The Changing Garden gathers together a variety of lovely prints, drawings, photographs, and paintings depicting picturesque garden views, formal designs, and natural features. This book is essential for anyone seeking a visual history and interesting perspectives of grand gardens--from the Villa d'Este and Versailles to contemporary experiences of city parks."--Marilyn Symmes, editor and author, "Fountains: Splash and Spectacle, Water and Design from the Renaissance to the Present

""The Changing Garden is the first book that asks us to stop and appreciate many of the 'documents' of the history of European and American gardens. It addresses the development of the representation of gardens, and the story it tells proves to be a fascinating chapter in the history of art, particularly for the history of prints and engravings."--Guy Walton, author of "Louis XIV's Versailles
