Gardens are for People by Thomas Church

New York: Reinhold, 1957. Early edition of this classic devoted to seamlessly linking the modern interior to it's modern garden counterpart. Large coffee-table book on garden design--great source for the mid-century modern garden and its layout and attributes. With an 'introduction to design', 'types of gardens' -and then chapters on terraces, decks, beach gardens, steps, fences, paving, seats, curbs, playgrounds, swimming pools- all with a decidedly modern feel. 248 pages. Pretty dust jacket has slight loss at extremities. Spine a trifle sunned. Some rubbing.
