Exquisite gardens abound in lush profusion throughout Greater Vancouver. In this intimate, gorgeously illustrated, behind-the-scenes book, Collin Varner and Christine Allen open the gate to more than two dozen of the most intriguing and inspiring private gardens in the city. Allen captures the essence of each garden, in her own words and in those of the garden's creator. Varner's meticulously detailed, colourful garden plans reveal the location and identity of each planting. Embellished with colour photography, these profiles celebrate Vancouver's rich and varied horticultural splendour.
