RIBA Bookshops Modern Family Gardens

Caroline Tilston This book showcases 29 urban gardens from around the country (plus one in France), which have been designed with both adults and children in mind. It includes gardens by designers such as Julie Toll, Paul Cooper and Claire Mee, who create modern, architectural outside spaces. For each garden, newly commissioned photography by Juliette Wade is used to show the detail and the overall layout of the garden, and there is also detailed textual information on how the garden was created, including comments from the designers. At the back of the book there is a section covering suppliers and resources as well as a plant directory. This title could be of use to the homebuilder and garden professional alike.
