He has published four books of natural history - Oak: The Frame of Civilization, Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, Air: The Restless Shaper of the World and, most recently, Sprout Lands: Tending the Endless Gift of Trees - all from WW Norton. As writer and contributing editor to House & Garden, House Beautiful and Garden Design, and as a garden columnist for the New York Times, he developed a keen sense of what makes a garden beautiful.
