Summary |
A feeling of expectation and surprise in a garden seldom happens by accident - it has to be created. And one of the first things you need to understand is how to use and organize space - even the smallest urban plot can be subdivided into spaces of differing character and can have hidden areas to discover. |
|
In Garden Spaces leading garden designer George Carter sets out the basic principles of organizing space in both small and large gardens. Through explanatory, specially taken photographs and easy-to-follow drawings the book offers numerous creative and imaginative ways for you to use and control space, whether you wish to transform the look of an existing garden or to create an entirely new one. |
|
Garden Spaces describes, and shows you how to resolve, a series of commonly found problems in gardens of all sizes and designed in different styles - formal and informal, modern or traditional. It also explains how you can include all the disparate functions of a garden - flower garden, vegetable garden, play or leisure area, and storage - without the garden looking uncoordinated or lacking in style. |
|
Packed with stylish and practical ideas, this is an extremely useful book on a key aspect of basic garden design. |
