Book Summary:

Embark on a captivating journey spanning the vast expanse from the vibrant Washington, DC, Metro Area to the serene Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.

The book includes urban, suburban, and estate gardens, from the DC to the Eastern Shore. And while it’s fun to get a peek into these private Edens, the book also includes good information about design, plant materials, and sustainability.
