WINDCLIFF

A story of people, plants and gardens

Eminent plant collector Daniel Hinkley created two of the world's most fabled private gardens: Heronswood and Windcliff. These iconic gardens, and the story of how one gave rise to the other, are celebrated in this deeply personal book. In a lively style that mingles audacious opinions on garden design with cautionary tales of planting missteps, Hinkley shares his infectious passion for plants. This inspiring saga, brought beautifully to life by Claire Takac's photography, will enchant anyone for whom gardens and life are inseparable. 

"Windcliff is charged with energy and lavishly illustrated with brilliant scenes from the garden. There is so much in this book for the enthusiast, the color-jaded, the monomaniac perfectionist, the gourmet, the romantic beauty lover, the historian, the ones thirsting to know."
Anne Proulx, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Shipping News and Barkskins
