Some of my favorites from the past year:
In Garden Design Master Class: 100 Lessons from The World's Finest Designers on the Art of the Garden (Rizzoli International, 2020), author Carl Dellatore asked 100 designers for their thoughts on the elements that go into notable gardens. Top landscape architects, designers, horticulturists and garden stylists offer essays on everything from restoration and materials to symmetry, space, scale, water, estates, borders, hedges, romance, liberty -- you name it.
I have, and have read, more than one book on Sissinghurst, but this one is absolutely the one you want on your bookshelf. In this new book, Sissinghurst: The Dream Garden (Frances Lincoln, 2020), author Tim Richardson offers a fresh perspective and new insights into one of the most famous gardens in the world.
The inspiring story of Windcliff, the personal garden of renowned plant explorer and designer Dan Hinkley. Windcliff: A Story of People, Plants, and Gardens (Timber Press, 2020). It includes plants you've never heard of, tons of design tips, and excellent writing from a master of horticulture.
Meet 75 dedicated, talented women working in the field of design and horticulture. The Earth in Her Hands: 75 Extraordinary Women Working in the World of Plants (Timber Press, 2020). Some you've heard of, some you haven't, but a "find" for anyone who wants to know some of the women who are at the forefront of gardening and landscape architecture.
