"This transcontinental tour of modern home gardens showcases a healthy dose of gardener and garden diversity across the spectrum of the American landscape. It offers lessons and inspiration and ingeniously seasons them with playfulness, passion, and purpose." --Jennifer Jewell, author of Under Western Skies and The Earth in Her Hands , host of Cultivating Place "As an editor of a national magazine, I know how difficult it is to find gardens beautiful enough to inspire people across the country. This book does just that--letting us have a peek over the fence to discover new plants, design ideas, and the gardeners themselves." --Stephen Orr, editor in chief, Better Homes Gardens "Includes design tips and ideas to inspire home gardeners everywhere." -- Library Journal "A garden is a personal thing, and it is about time we have a book that will inspire American gardeners to be personal about their design and plants. American Roots is well worth a place either on the coffee table or in the library of every gardener." --Sidney Frazier, vice president of horticulture, Middleton Place "I love this book.

Here are home gardens of designers from every part of our great country that are inspiring proof of a passionate vitality and freshness in American gardening today." --Page Dickey, author of Uprooted , co-founder of The Garden Conservancy Open Days "American Roots serves as not just a celebration of US gardening styles but also of an overarching gardening community, of which its readers are a warmly welcomed part." -- Horticulture " American Roots warms readers' hearts by showing both the diversity and unity within the community of American gardeners." -- Su Casa Magazine "Featuring modern and classic gardens, coast-to-coast, there is green inspiration on every page." -- Good Grit.
