Description
Presents a dynamic new approach to gardening. It explores how traditional formal design is being reinterpreted to suite today's small-scale outdoor rooms and reflect the tastes and lifestyles of gardeners in the 21st century. The book: explains the ingredients of modern formality and how to use them; presents formal designs reinterpreted along simple lines and a scale that is perfect for today's smaller plot; includes accessible, practical schemes clearly described and illustrated with garden plans; provides a wealth of ideas for permanent planting and quick design effects; illustrates how to create subtly ordered gardens that require the minimum of maintenance; and features inspiring color photographs that show the new classic ideals for contemporary gardens.
