註釋Containing over 250 photographs by world-renowned Italian photographer Luca Invernizzi Tettoni and authoritative text by gardening expert William Warren, Thai Garden Style is a unique book. Showcasing many of the finest contemporary Thai gardens in lavish colour, it contains a wealth of botanical - and other - information. Some of the gardens are in private homes, others in top international hotels and resorts, and each is a fantastic portrayal of tropical luxuriance. Opening with a cultural and historical introduction to Thai gardens, detailing the differences between palace, temple and house gardens, the book then takes a tour through some of the most stunning gardens you may see in Thailand today, many of which have never been photographed before. Divided into three garden sections - metropolitan Bangkok, the coastal areas in the south and the mountains around Chiang Mai - Warren examines the different styles in design and decoration and the wealth and variety of plant life. The book closes with an absorbing account of Warren's extensive gardening career in Thailand and a section aimed at people with small gardens, offering practical tips for making imaginative use of limited spaces.
