## Summary

Landscape architecture is the only design discipline that improves over decades. A garden completes itself in 30 years; a park reaches its character in 50; a designed forest becomes its imagined self in a century. Most landscape architects never see their best work. Key sections include: Lands cape.; Opening The slowest art.; Chapter I What it does.; Chapter II Frederick Law Olmsted.; Chapter III Central Park, in detail.; Chapter IV Capability Brown.; Chapter V Before Brown.; Chapter VI The Japanese garden.; Chapter VII Stones, water, moss.; Chapter VIII The Chinese scholar garden..
