Synopsis
At the heart of this book is a series of descriptions of particular gardens or garden features, each with a strong sense of design and none particularly complicated. The relationship with the site, and the materials and plants used, are analysed in detail, explaining the principles of design and planting that lie behind them, whether it be giving sparkling character to the edge of a water feature or providing a secluded sitting place where harmonious planting gives an atmosphere of repose.
The gardens, most of a modest size, yield the secrets that make them successful. An introduction captures the essence of garden design, and practical information on seasonal maintenance is given. There is a directory of plants which gives details of cultivation of every plant mentioned in the plans.
