Product Description
In Gardening with Nature, James van Sweden shows home gardeners and professionals how to conceive, design, build, and plant the romantic gardens for which he is renowned. In Part 1, van Sweden describes formative influences and outlines his bold, massed, asymmetrical plant groupings, reverence for site, low maintenance, and attention to all seasons. Part 2 explores design strategies and then embarks on a garden tour to show the rationale behind specific plant choices and design decisions. Part 3, "Planting Your Garden Step-by Step, " gives the nuts and bolts and hundreds of useful tips, and Part 4, "Favorite Plants, " offers a short, illustrated glossary of plants photographed in garden settings.
Customer Reviews
I liked the concept of this book, but I really wasn't so inspired by it. Since it is from 2003 and I got it used, I doubt that it is much in demand anymore anyway. Many of the properties shown looked scruffy and not beautiful. Just not so impressed by this one.
