Expert Advice,
By jkibler (Maybinton, South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Landscapes and Gardens for Historic Buildings: A Handbook for Reproducing and Creating Authentic Landscape Settings (American Association for State and Local History) (Paperback)
This is an excellent starting point for the beginner. It builds a proper base in a very practical, hands on way. Favretti is a well-known expert in Southern historic garden circles. He's created historic landscapes himself and comes at his subject with a great deal of experience.

Victorian garden,

This review is from: Landscapes and Gardens for Historic Buildings: A Handbook for Reproducing and Creating Authentic Landscape Settings (American Association for State and Local History) (Paperback)
Having a home built in 1845, my husband wants the landscaping to be "historically accurate." (But then he also wants me to dress as if it is 1845 but that is another story. He was born in the wrong century.) The book is filled with historical info (duh) and lots of garden ideas. My husband loves it. A thumbs up on this one!

Research and plan development- site analysis, etc. Authentic plants for period landscape settings Maintaining the restored landscape- lawns, visitor circulation and wear, pest control, etc. 202 pages
