Gardenlust: A Botanical Tour of the World's Best New Gardens by Christopher Woods

4.0

I want to thank Netgalley & the Publisher for providing me with an eARC of this book. Receiving a copy to review has not influenced my thoughts and opinions.

I love gardening/flowers/plants and everything in between. I saw this and the cover alone made me want to read it. It's gorgeous! I was lucky enough to get an eARC (Advanced Readers Copy).

I really loved all the photos inside but I was hoping for a little more. I was expecting page after page, just filled with gardens and beautiful views. Don't get me wrong, there are some but there's a lot of text and structures. While I enjoyed the information, there was a lot of it. All the pant names and what they are known for/can do. I just wish there was more color but a lot of it, is structures in a garden. 

I did find myself relaxing, while reading through this book. Some of the photos are just absolutely beautiful. I kind of want to buy this for my coffee table!
