The British may have too much influence on American horticulture, but their zeal for garden touring remains inspiring. When traveling, there are few more pleasant ways to spend a day than by strolling in a historic landscape or by scoping out someone's else's borders. The latest installments in the Princeton Architectural Press's handy series of Garden lover's Guides will open up new paths in Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the northeastern United States. House & Garden

A new series of richly illustrated garden tour books can be your ticket to seeing the best of Europe's horticultural legacy. Each of The Garden Lovers Guide's explores more than 100 of that country's most beautiful gardens, all open to the public. Written by top international gardening experts like Penelope Hobhouse and Patrick Taylor, these guidebooks stress history and national identity as the keys to understanding the very different characteristics of each country's gardens. Vestiges of Roman times can still be seen in Italian gardens, and in Germany, many splendid gardens in the east have just been opened to a wider audience in the last few years. The maps make garden touring easy to organize. Hemisphere
