4.0 out of 5 stars
Some interesting pictures.,
By NH Gardener (Just a mile or two from Maine.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garden design: History, principles, elements, practice (Hardcover)
I have not read this book yet - I bought it for it's pictures. It has pictures of some interesting planting combinations and hardscape applications. It contains chapters on Garden History, overviews of various styles (cottage, oriental, wild, parterre), "sense of place" (entries vs. landmarks vs. contemplation vs. workplace, etc.), elements of the garden (paving, light, water, structures, plant palette), a chapter w/ summaries of 15 diff. designers and a chapter on garden wisdom (planning, basics, revision & restoration). The book is well organized and designed and, again, has good pictures. It also has information on sources for plants and materials but since the book is from 1984 it is most likely completely outdated. Not essential but still quite nice.
