Charles J. Stick and his gardens

Charles J. Stick designs residential gardens across the United States, drawing on the principles of Palladio, Charles A. Platt, and Russell Page to connect the architecture to the land and develop enticing pathways between the formal planting and the landscape beyond. Four major estates, including his own previously unpublished farm, are explored, offering insights into the design process and client relationships.
Ten smaller gardens demonstrate the breadth of Stick's creative response to topography and climate.
