If you want a book that will give you the urge to travel, GardenLust will do it! Christopher Woods provides an insight into 55 world gardens, but it's not the botanical gardens you'd expect. Instead, he's focused on gardens that have been created more recently, and includes some private gardens as well as larger installations. Exquisite photos make you want to visit each garden. A diversity of designs--some very formal, others whimsical, still others very natural--adds to the variety within the book. My only disappointment was that no information was provided about whether open to public, specific locations. That could be added to the bar just beneath the garden's name on first page of every entry.
