The American Garden Guidebook: A Traveler's Guide to Extraordinary Beauty Along the Beaten Path, 339 Listings : The Finest Botanical Gardens, Parks - Softcover

Especially useful for vacationing family groups that include serious horticulturists (and perhaps children or a golfer), this guide lists outstanding botanical gardens plus resorts where gardens are beautiful and entertainment is an added attraction. It describes over 339 gardens in eastern North America and Canada, giving data on location, hours, fees, special plant collections, best seasons, shops, restaurants, wheel chair access, and activities such as lectures, crafts, and sports. Gardens range from such horticultural gems as Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania to Parrot Jungle in Florida and are arranged alphabetically, state by state. Since the authors refer to this guide as Volume 1 it will presumably be followed by another for western North American gardens. Louise B. Hodges, Amherst Cty. P.L., Va.
