When architect Bastien Halard was brought in to freshen up a 1917 Long Island home, he initially thought it would be a fairly quick job. Some paint, maybe a little restoration of the mechanicals. A pool had recently been installed by his wife, the landscape designer Miranda Brooks; before then, there hadn’t been much need for one. The property is located on an island, and the Pincus family, who has used the getaway as their vacation home for several decades, had simply turned to the brackish inlets of the surrounding Peconic Bay for their bathing, launching paddleboards between the marshy grasses. When Brooks put in the bluestone-paved pool—the first step in a gradual reimagining of the grounds—the imperative had been to preserve the sight line to the shore and to match the surrounding hue, to make it feel more like a pond, a gentle continuation of the bayside landscape.

The First Wild Garden - A new book celebrates the historic English garden that launched a modern movement.
Without naming the most grotesque examples of tree mutilation in England, it is clear that much beauty is lost in our gardens by the stupid and ignorant practice of cutting trees into unnatural shapes,” wrote the Victorian-era gardener William Robinson in Gravetye Manor: Or Twenty Years’ Work round an Old Manor House (1911). Robinson’s fighting words were laid out in the preface to his book, an account of the decades he spent creating his garden at the Elizabethan house of Gravetye Manor in Sussex, England, and recently reproduced in facsimile by Rizzoli alongside stunning contemporary photographs.
