This series from Pavilion highlights a unique approach to detailed garden design through an attractive combination of close-up photographs and informative text. Published as a set of pocket-sized books, this series is specially designed to lead the eye straight to the heart of the garden focussing on those individual details so important to the overall design of your garden. Paths are an integral ingredient of garden design, leading the eye to the heart of the garden and focussing upon its chief beauties. Paths also provide a valuable framework, laying down a a pattern of structure, and may themselves be objects of beauthy: a herring-bone pattern of bricks running along a white painted paling; stately stone-flags edging a burgeoning border; single stepping stones leading tentatively into dense planting; a close-mown path curving out of sight across a meadow of tall grass. Paths contribute decisively to the character of a garden and the choice of materials will profoundly affect a garden's atmosphere. Here Patrick Taylor explains some of the main principles to guide the gardener in choosing a path and describes the materials that may be used. Fifty photographs provide a rich reference and will inspire gardeners in their search for the right path. Patrick Taylor writes and lectures widely on garden history and design. He is the author of "Planting in Patterns" and "Period Gardens" and is joint editor of "Gardens of Europe". Since 1984 he has been gardening writer of the magazine "World of Interiors".
