About this title

Synopsis

The work of landscape architects Edmund Hollander and Mary Ann Connelly is presented in a display of aerial and panoramic views of ocean views, pools, and garden splendor, along with the author's tips on choosing the right plants, materials, water features, and more as he painstakingly details plans and illustrations to achieve an extraordinary garden landscape.

Synopsis

Captures the bold, dramatic beauty of country gardens designed for extravagent entertaining and visual splendour. Featuring the work of noted landscape architects Edmund Hollander and Mary Ann Connelly, this volume presents panoramic and aerial views of gardens in the country and on the ocean, of negative-edged swimming pools that seem to extend into the horizon, and dense flower gardens. The rationale for each garden design is revealed and the book discusses how these landscape architects translated the owner's garden fantasies into a reality. Next, the reader is shown an array of expert strategies for choosing plants, hardscape materials and water features to create gardens of their own. Plans and illustrations show where and how to add such detail as swimming pools, ponds, paths, gazebos, trellises and much more.
