Discovers the importance of gardening in the work of Swiss-American photographer Marina Schinz.

Gardens and flowers have been a core subject of Marina Schinz's career. This found expression in her previous books Visions of Paradise, The Gardens of Russell Page, and A Tuscan Paradise. Visiting and photographing countless gardens around the world made her engage in gardening herself and culminated in major garden design projects for her houses, first in the Hudson Valley and later near Piacenza in Italy.

In Green Thoughts and Memories, Schinz looks back at her gardening adventures, interweaving horticultural observations with memoirs of her childhood in Zurich. Entertaining and engaging at the same time, full of practical considerations, and rendered with humor and philosophy, the book offers an unconventional appreciation of garden art. It conveys basic knowledge to put budding gardeners and rank beginners on the road to planting a mere tree or starting an entire garden. In twelve chapters, it explores all the elements of gardening, such as weather, soil, labor, planning, flowers, shrubs, etc.
Richly illustrated in full color throughout with Schinz's photographs of famous and unknown gardens around the world, this beautiful volume will appeal to anyone with a love of plants and gardens or with a desire to create a personal paradise.

Schinz, Marina: - Marina Schinz, born in Zurich, moved to New York in 1964 to work for German-born fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld and to pursue a career as an independent photographer. Her garden photography has been published in magazines such as House & Garden, House Beautiful, New York Times Magazine, Time & Life Books, and Architectural Digest, and her previous books Visions of Paradise, The Gardens of Russell Page, and A Tuscan Paradise. She now lives near Piacenza, Italy.
