From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gardenvisit.com website was launched in 1998 and is said to the most comprehensive website of its kind, with information on:
- Gardens open to the public. The Garden Finder has details of over 2,000+ gardens in 50+ countries, with Googlemaps and photographs
- Garden History. The website contains full online eTexts of 20+ books on garden design and landscape architecture, including the History of Garden Art by Marie-Luise Gothein, English Garden Design since 1650, by Tom Turner, The English Flower Garden, by Gertrude Jekyll.
- Landscape Architecture. This section contains a number of articles and notes on landscape design and landscape planning.
- Garden and Landscape Design Products. This section contains reviews and technical notes.
The Gardenvisit.com website was redesigned in 2008 as a Web 2.0 site with User-generated content - allowing visitors to review gardens, owners to publish garden opening details, and garden designers to list their activities.
