Synopsis

The great gardens of the world depend for their lasting and universal appeal on the shapes, views and suprises that linger in the mind's eye. This book takes a look at 19 selected gardens so designed that every corner is a visual and sensory delight. An inspirational and informative look at selected English and American gardens, from the small to the majestic, through intricate watercolour ground plans and 400 colour photographs. The book takes the form of a step-by-step tour of each garden, first through a watercolour ground plan, then a description and exploration of the walks and beds constructed. The four main sections cover small space gardens (from a painter's garden to a meticulously-planned illusion of grandeur); gardens with a past (from Japanese themes to a Pennsylvanian garden with echoes of the Italian Renaissance to Sir Roy Strong's formal garden in Herefordshire); gardens in the landscape (an Edwardian rose garden in the Yorkshire Dales to a garden by the Thames with statuary at every turn); special sections on containers, unusual use of plants, pools, streams and fountains, statuary, furniture, paths, steps, borders and gates.
