One of the world's most successful garden designers--and winner of the prestigious Best Garden Award at the Chelsea Flower Show 2000--describes in detail the influences and inspirations that produce gardens in perfect harmony with house and landscape. For a garden to exude atmosphere, it must look beyond its own boundaries and embrace elements from the surrounding environment. Bring native trees, flowers, grasses, and architectural materials into your little plot of Eden. Or, contrast a rooftop oasis with the city streets below, while still recognizing the energy coming from that different dimension. Equally important, gardens must continue and extend the home's patterns, shapes, colors, even period features. Innovative suggestions for working with various landscapes and water; for taking advantage of what's already there; for establishing links between house and garden; and much more will open your eyes to the endless possibilities for a harmonious design! A Selection of Garden Book Club. 9 1/2 X 11. All in Color

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. How can you create a garden that works with the landscape rather than fights against it? This title looks at the concept of a garden's design its location onwards from the relationship between a house and its garden, the views inside and out, the owner's personality, and the garden's history. All these elements can be brought to bear on a design to create a garden with a unique sense of place. In fact, a successful design is one that has its roots firmly in its location. One of the aims of this book is to pass on to readers an effective method of collecting visual information, storing it and then putting it to its best use. A section of case studies puts all this theory into practice, showing four of Arne Maynard's gardens and explaining in detail each part of the planning and design.
