The first of a two-volume series, this book provides detailed information about nearly 1,200 public gardens and arboreta east of the Mississippi.

This easy-to-use book informs garden lovers about public gardens both large and small and includes several hidden jewels. For example, if you were traveling to Huntsville, Alabama, you would discover that the area has two public gardens: one on a mountaintop with typical southern landscaping and native plants, and one featuring aquatic gardens.

The gardens are listed alphabetically by state, and the index includes a handy cross-reference based on garden themes.
