The author focuses on a multitude of hedges, pleaching for alleys, arbours and tunnels, topiary, knots and mazes, and parterres, and he looks at potential designs, sugggesting ways in which ideas can be applied to smaller gardens as well as grand layouts, before going into valuable detail on the practicalities of planning, preparation, planting, and long-term maintenance. He summarizes the choice of plants appropriate to different purposes and sites, and his suggestions include, for example, traditional hedging materials such as box and yew as well as well-known varities such as Cornus Mas. Patrick Taylor has been a gardening book reviewer for the magazine "The World of Interiors".
