The garden visitor's companion

the long version

"For many, visiting gardens both large and small, public and private, is one of the pleasures of modern travel. The most urban New Yorker, Berliner, or Parisian will not miss the gardens of Kyoto or Souchow, Florence or Charleston, when on vacation. Louisa Jones explores ten types of gardens, and for each she proposes ten questions that the visitor might ask, along with suggestions of things to look for and think about."--Publisher's description.
