Each section of the garden is accompanied by a directory of featured plants--from native ferns and succulents to a wide variety of flowering specimens. Stunning photographs -- printed on two different specialty stocks -- illustrate every aspect of the garden in different lights and seasons; during big parties and intimate gatherings.
