Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "As the oldest and finest Victorian public gardens outside the United Kingdom, the Halifax Public Gardens is a popular destination for visitors and city residents alike. In this book, readers will find the authoritative account of the Gardens' history. Initial designs from the 1830s are illustrated with historical images drawn from archival sources, while the vibrant and lush splendour of the present day is showcased in a breathtaking full-colour portfolio. The breadth and complexity of the Gardens' horticultural and architectural beauty is accompanied by the story of how the Gardens came to be, how it was planned and how it has been maintained over the decades. Authors Robert Pace, Robert Salah and Peter L. Twohig share little known stories about popular Gardens features like the bandstand, memorial fountains, stone bridges, water features and the impressive range of local and imported flora. Also detailed is the restoration initiated by a group concerned citizens -- including the authors -- in 2003 after the Hurricane Juan heavily damaged the Gardens. The process is illustrated with images of the damage and the resoration's stunning results. This beautiful book documents an important cultural landmark, and shows how public engagement and support over the decades has ensured the preservation of this irreplaceable public space." --Jacket flap.
