- Seller's Description:
- Very Good. 1970. New Impression. Hardcover. David & Charles, 1970, 2nd edn. in glazed pictorial jacket in mint condition, green cloth boards in mint condition, 232pp plus 48 photographs on gloss paper and 9 in-text diagrams. Increasing pressure on space, as well as the cost of labour and shortage of time available to garden owners, has led toward the making of ever-smaller gardens. Terrace and courtyard gardens can make most attractive use of a strictly limited plot. Skilled layout of paving, beds and grass panels, and careful blending of the shapes of plants and of fixed architecture, can be highly effective. Details are given of the construction of pools, lawns and window boxes, and on compost, pot plants and shrubs. Not least important are the many new illustrations, including photographs of gardens old and new, a revised list of selected plants, a bibliography, an appendix on metrication and British Standards. This book, first published in 1965 and much welcomed, will make the amateur and the professional designer more aware of the potential of a type of garden which has many historical precedents, and an infinite number of modern applications. 8¾x5½in.....We ship daily from our Bookshop.
