Foreign Trends in American Gardens addresses the influence of foreign, designed landscapes on the development of their American counterparts. Examining the translation, imitation, adaptation, and naturalization of stylistic trends and horticultural specimens into American gardens, the book also dwells on the dialectic of the foreign versus the native. The volume’s contributors consider the experiences of both immigrants, who contributed through their writing, planting, and design efforts to enhance the character of regional gardens, and Americans, who traveled abroad and brought back with them a passion for naturalizing exotics for scientific as well as aesthetic reasons. Including essays from an array of significant scholars in landscape studies, this collection examines topics ranging from the importation of Western and Eastern styles of design and theoretical literature to the adaptation of specific plant types. As the variety of topics and influences discussed demonstrates, the essence of American gardens defies simple definition. Its complexity and its amalgam of historicism and modernity, foreign cultures and local values, is also its most distinctive character.
