Product Description

The exquisite island of Bali regularly inspires such descriptions as "The Garden of Eden" and "The Morning of the World." Created by violent volcanic upheavals, Bali is still in the throes of creation as man and nature continue to transform its landscape. This third edition of the book has been thoroughly updated by photographer Luca Invernizzi Tettoni and author/landscape designer William Warren. Some of the latest ground-breaking gardens designed on the fabled isle have been added and others re-photographed as they have developed. This guided tour of Bali's finest traditional and contemporary gardens is perfect for gardening enthusiasts and professional landscape architects alike, and will especially appeal to visitors who have experienced the charms of one of the world's most beautiful islands.
