Ideas and Inspiration for Your Garden

There are countless encyclopedias devoted to plants, but few on garden design, yet often garden structures are the most evocative of a theme: a white gazebo with ornate gingerbread trim will readily identify a romantic Victorian garden, a bamboo-teahouse will suggest an Oriental influence, and a tiered fountain an Italian-style garden.
This comprehensive presentation of garden designs and structures provides over 1000 visual examples for reference and inspiration.
A full-colour ideas book that draws on centuries of history and design from great to lesser known gardens across the world to create a comprehensive collection of garden design concepts and garden furnishings. Organised in easy-to-use alphabetical order by subject, this work presents a wealth of information and inspiration by one of the world's best-read garden writers.
