Architecture in the Garden
By Sweden, James Van
The elements of garden architecture - paths, walls, gates, fences, terraces, sheds, lighting, furniture, waterworks, and art - together form the backbone of any well-designed garden. In this beautifully illustrated and accessible book, legendary landscape architect James van Sweden explains how to design and build a garden like a professional. He leads his readers on a tour through some of his most exquisitely designed gardens - in the country, in the city, in the suburbs, and by the shore. "When it comes to planning a comfortable and rewarding garden," van Sweden writes in his Introduction, "the challenges that confront the owner of an estate or a weekend cottage are often substantially the same. The principles and techniques used for organizing a large site work equally well in a more modest setting.
