"'Moments in Eden' - a stunning collection of 89 full-color photographs of some of the world's most beautiful gardens, elevates garden photography into an art form through the rare and unique gifts of renowned landscape photographer Richard Brown. Brown, who has earned a reputation for his talent of uncovering art within a garden, then capturing and blending the creator's genius with his own, invites us to enter those gardens in which man's longing for an earthly paradise has found its most splendid expression.
Some of the gardens in this incomparable collection are among the most notable of their kind -- the elegant French baroque parterres of Versailles; the horizon-high tulip fields surrounding Holland's Keukenhof Garden; the sweeping romantic landscapes with sparkling lakes and wandering herds of deer in England; Italy's Renaissance grottoes and cypress avenues; and the contemplative gardens of Japan. Other examples of gardens are as nameless as a profusion of geraniums in a Swiss window box, and as simple as a single wisteria vine clinging to the timeworn stones of a Cotswold cottage wall.
Although some of the gardens are among the world's most frequently photographed, Brown's perceptions of gardens is unusual and his special ability to embrace on film a garden's mood has gained him wide acclaim."
