Description
A cactus-ringed courtyard in Oaxaca, the High Line’s prairie ribbon, and Anna Wintour’s quiet upstate retreat share the same spread in The Contemporary Garden. Edited by Phaidon with notes from Annie Guilfoyle, Sorrel Everton, and Tovah Martin, this A-to-Z survey drops 300 gardens from 40-plus countries into one generous format: full-bleed photo on the left, concise field note on the right. You’ll spot marquee names—Dan Pearson, Sarah Price, Fiona Brockhoff—alongside rising studios and passionate owner-makers, each showing how today’s palettes run from dry Mediterranean tapestries to edible micro-plots, community build-outs, and hyper-botanical airport lobbies. The sequencing by designer lets you trace a stylistic thread or jump around and compare wildly different takes on topiary or wilding. Whether you’re planning a project, tweaking a balcony pot, or just want a lush escape for the coffee table, this pre-order promises a fresh, global snapshot of garden thinking right now.
