Given the rare
opportunity to visit hundreds of gardens and wild habitats, Thompson has
produced an exciting survey of exotic flora found south of the equator.
The exhilarating writing promises to tantalize and educate garden enthusiasts
by communicating the sensational, surreal allure of the region's plant
life. In touring gardens of the Southern Hemisphere and the U.S., Thompson
introduces readers to an eye-opening procession of species and to the innovative
designs created by plantsmen and -women who utilize unusual plant material
to create stunning landscapes.
