For sixty years, Fletcher Steele practiced landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly seven hundred gardens, from Boston to Detroit, from North Carolina to Canada. Often brilliant, always original, Steele's work is considered by many to constitute the essential link between nineteenth-century Beaux Arts formalism and modern landscape design.

This beautifully illustrated volume traces the development of an American style of landscape design over four decades, from the naturalistic wild gardens of Warren Manning to the proto-modernist gardens of Fletcher Steele. Analyzing these against the backdrop of the cultural currents shaping larger public projects, Robin Karson weaves together a comprehensive and richly detailed picture of the artistic achievements of the period.
