Summary: "McCullough is on a mission to debunk thinking that American gardens are simply picket-lined lawns or copy-cats of esteemed European and Japanese cousins. After road tripping from sea to shining sea, he has carefully curated a list that undoubtedly proves the point. American garden designers are creating distinctive gardens with an All-American flair. They embrace the industrial grit of the Midwest, the hospitable grace of the South, the indigenous culture of the Southwest and the breezy plant palette of the East Coast. The book will feature profiles of 20 gardens from five regions of the country, dive into the regions' design influences, share the back stories of the gardens and their designers, and offer information-packed sidebars with design tips and plant palettes"--
