The garden design firm of SMI Landscape Architecture is known for its estate masterplanning, public gardens, streetscapes, and private gardens across the United States and in the Bahamas. This book examines three of their recent private gardens in detail, including design approaches, planting details, and the process behind each garden. Projects include a Miami family garden that mimics a northern landscape, a naturalistic development in Scarsdale, New York, and a dramatic garden on a high cliff in Palm Beach, Florida. The book highlights the collaborative process with clients, local flora, and other designers, providing insights into the creative process of garden making.
