The Contemporary

Garden

Phaidon

The Contemporary Garden celebrates 300 gardens with a gorgeous large-format image and insightful description. Curated in collaboration with an international team of horticultural experts.

One can find iconic public gardens such as the High Line and Changi Airport Garden, as well as private creations, such as a dreamy hillside garden in Morocco by Umberto Pasti and Anna Wintour’s elegant garden in upstate New York by Miranda Brooks. 

The alphabetical structure of the book results in chance combinations on the spread. It invited us to celebrate the wide range of styles and scopes as well as the geographical diversity by adding multiple shades of colour backgrounds that gives the impression of walking through a meadow of long grasses.
