Into the Garden: Private Sanctuaries Around the World

An exclusive tour of exceptional private gardens, showcasing the best designers and owner-makers today

Into the Garden features more than 40 private green spaces normally inaccessible to the public, inviting readers to immerse themselves in dreamy landscapes and stunning vistas.

Curated by Clare Foster, Garden Editor at House & Garden magazine, this beautifully illustrated volume highlights the remarkable work of today’s top designers and makers. From Umberto Pasti’s intimate garden in Tangier, a haven of local flora, and a Long Island oasis by British designer Arne Maynard, to a romantic rose garden in Dorset created by the owner with Isabel and Julian Bannerman and a terraced Mediterranean garden for a family in Ibiza designed by Juan Masedo, the featured gardens represent diverse styles, environments, scales, and locations.

Each garden is explored through stunning large-format images and engaging texts outlining the garden’s story, design, key features, and plantings. The perfect gift for designers and gardeners, both amateur and professional, Into the Garden captures the contemporary moment in horticulture, where innovative design, plantings, creativity, luxury, and beauty meet.
