Dust jacket tears, chipped, unclipped, now in a protective sleeve. Green cloth with bright gilt lettering on spine. Illustrated end papers.Foxing spots. 143 pages. The little garden as a personal creation has come into its own in the concept of its design and small size, both making it possible for one person to plant and maintain it. This is the kind of garden that complements the way we live today, and the editors of House & Garden, New York, collected the twenty-six examples that have elicited the greatest readership response over the past several years. All are small, but in every other way they vary tremendously. There are a vegetable garden by a front walk, an indoor garden in an old greenhouse, an organic garden, a vertical wall garden, a garden laid out like a scallop shell, and many more. Each is photographed in full colour and is also shown in a detailed plan with notes about the trees, shrubs, and flowers. The reader can see how each garden was created and, more important, can re-create a similar garden himself. The gardens have been chosen to reveal what has been grown successfully in a variety of climates. But it is mainly the freedom, the lack of rigid tradition, that gives these twenty-six small gardens their special charm and distinction. The photographs on the endpapers is by Leslie Gill. The other Photographs in the book are by Morley Baer, Ernst Beadle, Emerick Bronson, Dean Brown, William Grigsby, Horst P. Horst, Fred Lyon, and Hans Namuth. The garden plans were drawn by Adolph Brotman. Size: 9.75" By 11" Tall. …
