Adapted from the author’s PhD thesis, the grant will support the publication of his work as a book geared towards the garden tour audience, garden history, landscape design and art students.It documents how settlers undertook to re-create and develop the Eurocentric garden ideas in two very different physical and climatic regions of western North America. The book will compare and contrast through examples the recreated gardens over ten decades. The settlers to these coastal areas and unplowed continental grasslands shared for the most part a common European cultural, visual and literary heritage. Their ornamental gardens were centered around the agricultural-arboricultural-horticultural-landscape developed in the British Isles.
