What makes a garden truly authentic? For American gardeners, this question can be vexing because it is a young nation, still developing its own garden style. American gardeners tend to turn to other national traditions from Italy, Japan or England for inspiration. The result of this stylistic borrowing is the creation of gardens that bear little relationship to local landscapes and history. Claire Sawyers, director of the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College-regarded by some as "the most beautiful campus in America"-shows how this tendency can be reversed.
