Summary:
"
Elements
used to design, structure and beautify your
garden
, with
practical
advice on installation. From bridges to gates, gazebos to fountains, sculpture to bird houses, this
book
gives many illustrations to inspire the professional or amateur
garden
designer. For each
garden
element, photographs illustrate how it can best be used in every sort of landscape. Once the horticultural bones of a
garden
have been laid out, the next questions generally considered are the manmade objects that are required. There are any number of approaches, and the savvy
gardener
, after determining what
designs
would be best suited to the site and how additions should be positioned, wonders: "What are the options?" Whether it's benches, bridges, or bird-houses, paving stones, fountains, or gazebos, this
book
details the best of their kind, hundreds of examples, illustrated in color, and representing solutions from around the world. What can be bought "off the shelf" or reproduced by a master craftsman -- structures and solutions displayed in every sort of position and environment. Whatever the challenge, the Bartletts have seen it, solved it, or recorded the best that exists. Each chapter begins with an essay on the history and evolution of the structure in question and the best way to approach the challenges of choice and location. An ambitious, comprehensive, and colorful
compendium
of the very best
garden
ornaments and
elements
presently available. Includes: arbors, beehives, birdhouses, boot scrapers, bridges, fences, fountains, furniture, gates, gazebos, paving materials, pergolas, planters, pools & ponds, sculpture & statuary, sun dials, topiary, walls, and more."--Provided by publisher.
