3.0 out of 5 stars
Nice gardens, strange grammar,
By J Brockett M (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: For Every House a Garden: A Guide for Reproducing Period Gardens (Paperback)
I couldn't get past the poor editing of this book. Every time I saw the phrase "such as" enclosed in commas, I wanted to scream!
However, these folks are experts and provide, in a short piece, a wealth of historical information. If you want your house to be surrounded by period plantings, this is the place to start. Regretfully without photos, which is a shame given that I googled the authors and they've created some very beautiful period gardens that they should be proud of.
