This Persian gardening book showcases classic gardens and pavilions and presents
gardening advice for the aspiring amateur landscaper looking to add an Eastern

The garden has always had a special meaning for Persian (Iran). The Persian

Persian Gardens & Garden Pavilions is both a comprehensive survey and an

comprehensive collection of paintings, lithographs, and drawings of the
nineteenth century ...
