| Montreal Botanic Gardens |
This
gorgeous coffee table books provides a look at various gardens worldwide. And when Vivienne Hambly writes worldwide,
she means it. While the book does start
with various gardens in Europe, one of
the highlights of the book is the section African gardens which includes
gardens outside of South Africa as well as gardens that are not traditionally
showcases of just green plant life.
Hambly even includes Meidan Emam in Iran.

| Casa Loma |
It’s true that one could argue that both Canada and South America could be better represented. For instance, the Montreal Botanical Gardens understandably get highlighted but the gardens of Toronto’s Casa Loma are absolute (granted they are small, but the United States Botanic Gardens are included and those are small).
That aside,
this is a wonderful book that entices the reader with wonderful gardens to
visit.
