Canyon Gardens brings into focus a wealth of new study and commentary on early Puebloan landscapes, including compact gardens and terraces, plazas and courtyards, site planning, the integration of building and landscape design, and a surprisingly wide range of plant use. It also examines the meaning of these unique historic landscapes in relation to modern landscape architecture and horticulture in the Southwest.A startling conclusion: many early open spaces built by the Pueblos form distinct patterns and are designed landscapes in every sense of the word.
