Sommario/riassunto

The Mexican garden is a serene oasis that displays a diversity and ingenuity that is truly astonishing. Mexico's temperate climate, conducive to outdoor living, combined with its Indian and Spanish heritage have resulted in a unique style of design and architecture. Through over 400 photographs and detailed text, this book displays the sense of variety and originality characteristic of the Mexican garden.
