DESCRIPTION:
From practical advice on how to make a slow-drip natural fountain to tips on building an inexpensive Tuscan-style wall, you will be encouraged to use your imagination and take risks. Water features, oversized and broadleaved plants, expansive use of color, zone-pushing tropicals, architectural emphasis, and elements of classicism and mystery-all combine to create a magical space. Stunning photographs perfectly complement the inspiring text.. The authors describe how you too can achieve this kind of retreat for reflection in your own backyard. Celebrated internationally as artists and gardeners, Little and Lewis open the gates to their renowned Puget Sound garden and share the enthusiasm that informs and enlivens their wild fantasia of plants, hardscape, and art
not what expected from reading about the book I got the impression it is from a wide variety of gardens, but the pictures seem to be only of different areas of one garden? very similar, and therefore not too interesting for me, though the writers do have a great garden. many of the pictures repeat themselves. like with leaves of cera. Great ideas, gorgeous images Nice book. Beautifully arranged and great ideas throughout. However it is not a how-to book, so if you're looking for construction tips, measurements and materials this lacks that information.. "wonderful book" according to redheron. you can get lost in the color of this book. I want to live there. Full of photographs of the gardens of Little and Lewis. A real inspiration to my gardening.
