Pioneer of tropical landscape architecture : William Lyman Phillips in Florida / Tropical landscape architecture. Jackson, Faith Reyher, Landscape architects Landscape architecture 712 UNI 1997 C160 Or. B "William Lyman Phillips (1885-1966) played a seminal role in the landscaping of Florida and in the history of landscape architecture, designing the world famous Fairchild Tropical Garden in Miami (begun in 1938) as well as hundreds of other sites, four of them on the National Register. This biography, brings to life the story of the quiet, self-effacing man whose love of Florida's tropical and subtropical botany has had such a profound influence on the way Florida looks today."--BOOK JACKET.
