Description

Philip de Gay (au); James Bolton (au); Monty Don (pf). Gardens have been a source of delight, desire & pleasure for centuries. The urge to control & to enjoy nature, to create an earthly paradise, through the designs, the ornaments, the flowers & the shrubs which combine to make up the garden is a delightful human obsession which has taken many forms over the centuries. This illustrated volume covers: parterres, hedges, mazes & topiary. Here, too, are the architectural forms of structures in wood, stone & metal. Temples, pavilions, conservatories, orangeries, follies, mausoleums, fountains, & ruins are encountered on the human scale by statuary, urns & every style of wooden structure. Includes ingenious swings & helter-skelters, pigeon-houses, aviaries & menageries. Slipcase.
