This lush volume celebrates the centenary of the Garden Club of America. Drawing on the Garden Club’s little known but remarkable collection, the curators of the eponymous Grolier Club exhibition have assembled over a hundred works representing 400 years of botanical and gardening literature. Included are treatises on garden design and landscape architecture, botanical, and early photographic works on gardening, horticultural journals and dictionaries, works on the art of Japanese flower arranging, and fascinating early studies on indigenous flowers of the New World, from Hawaii to Colorado. A delight for the eye that will appeal to all lovers of the botanical.
