"The Magic of Children's Gardens is an unparalleled resource for anyone-whether landscape designer, horticulturist, educator, or community leader-who seeks a better understanding of how the design of contemporary children's gardens has evolved to most effectively spark the interest and imagination of today's kids. Lolly Tai has compiled detailed profiles of exemplary gardens across America, each including design intents, plant lists, technical details, and inspirational photos and plans. Those charged with envisioning, maintaining, or enhancing children's gardens need to have this comprehensive work on their bookshelves."-Tom Underwood, Executive Director of the American Horticultural Society "The Magic of Children's Gardens is a great resource for landscape architects and designers. Lolly Tai's case studies feature a robust series of children's gardens created by recognized designers. Each case study includes a plethora of plans, sketches, photographs, and plant lists-everything a designer could want for inspiration and guidance. In the past, this information was available only to the lucky few who had the resources to travel the United States, tour sites, and meet owners and designers in person. Tai brings the whole measure to us in a single must-have book."-Lisa Horne, Co-chair of the Outdoor Children's Environments Professional Practice Network, professional landscape architect, and member of the American Society of Landscape Architects "The Magic of Children's Gardens is a superb resource and reference tool for anyone interested in children's outdoor environments-from design professionals to public garden specialists, urban planners, educators, and students of design. The detailed garden descriptions, plans, and plant lists provide a template for the development of future children's gardens around the world that may well serve to inspire the next generation of horticulturists, scientists, and artists."-Paul B. Redman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Longwood Gardens
