Updated and expanded here are the stories of nearly thirty designed landscapes first identified in the early twentieth-century publication Garden History of Georgia, 1733-1933. Seeking Eden records each gardens evolution and history as well as each gardens current early twenty-first-century appearance, as beautifully documented in photographs. Dating from the mid-eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, these publicly and privately owned gardens include nineteenth-century parterres, Colonial Revival gardens, Country Place-era landscapes, rock gardens, historic town squares, college campuses, and an urban conservation garden.Seeking Eden explores the significant impact of the women who envisioned and nurtured many of these special places; the role of professional designers, including J. Neel Reid, Philip Trammel Shutze, William C. Pauley, Robert B. Cridland, the Olmsted Brothers, Hubert Bond Owens, and Clermont Lee; and the influence of the garden club movement in Georgia in the early twentieth century.FEATURED GARDENS:Andrew Low House and Garden  SavannahAshland Farm  FlintstoneBarnsley Gardens  AdairsvilleBarrington Hall and Bulloch Hall  RoswellBattersby-Hartridge Garden  SavannahBeech Haven  AthensBerry College: Oak Hill and House o Dreams  Mount BerryBradley Olmsted Garden  ColumbusCator Woolford Gardens  AtlantaCoffin-Reynolds Mansion  Sapelo IslandDunaway Gardens  Newnan vicinityGovernors Mansion  AtlantaHills and Dales Estate  LaGrangeLullwater Conservation Garden  AtlantaMillpond Plantation  Thomasville vicinityOakton  MariettaRock City Gardens  Lookout MountainSalubrity Hall  AugustaSavannah Squares  SavannahStephenson-Adams-Land Garden  AtlantaSwan House  AtlantaUniversity of Georgia: North Campus, the Presidents House and Garden, and the Founders Memorial Garden  AthensValley View  Cartersville vicinityWormsloe and Wormsloe State Historic Site  Savannah vicinityZahner-Slick Garden  Atlanta\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974463652128,"sku":"NEW0820353000","price":34.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71BxxXDwuJL._SL1200_QL70.jpg?v=1785799722","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/seeking-eden-a-collection-of-georgias-historic-gardens-0820353000","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
