. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/8x94qmt [Article Well Illustrated with Excellent Photographs] . .Tropical Gardens of the Philippines compiles some of the most beautiful gardens in the world today. The book showcases 42 gardens, mostly from private homes around the metropolitan Manila area and nearby provinces such as Laguna, Batangas, and Cavite.
.From traditional to contemporary styles, it explores the root of the Philippine's topiary by showing a mixture of influences from both the Oriental and Western world dating before the Spanish arrivals in the 16th century, when ornamental horticulture in the Philippines was non-existent and plants were grown mainly for food and medicinal purposes.
.The book also introduces some famous landscape designers, whether it be Jerry Aros, who is known for his earth-friendly approach by designing dynamic, self-sustaining gardens with complicated water systems using natural elements to convey his personal philosophies, or the French botanist Patrick Blanc, whose work at the Muse'e du Quai Branly has caused many visitors to stop dead in their tracks with his cascading plants.
