The Donnell and Eckbo Gardens: Modern Californian Masterworks

Marc Treib

Thomas Church's 1948 Donnell Garden in Sonoma, California, and Garrett Eckbo's 1959 ALCOA Forecast Garden in Los Angeles helped define the parameters of modern landscape design in the U.S. Although these gardens appear in almost every book on modern landscape architecture, the published facts and details have been relatively few.

This volume assembles virtually all known documents on the two projects, including interviews with Church's collaborators and the pertinent holdings of the Environmental Design Archives.
