What is The Perfect Garden : the Best Plants for the Best Design about?

The latest trend in garden design is to use key plants to achieve shape, volume, and drama. The best plants for the best design have a strong, architectural shape; they may also have striking foliage or add color accents. In <i>The Perfect Garden</i>, Sunniva Harte looks at the role of these key plants, exploring the variety of ways one can use them to bring structure, cohesion, and style to any kind of garden: cottage, coastal, wild, or dry; Japanese, jungle, or woodland. Harte offers expert advice on creating horizontal and vertical designs, enhancing or disguising various features, achieving unity and form, and using texture and color to maximum effect. There are also chapters on sculpting and shaping with plants ‹ including topiary, green rooms, parterres, and espaliers ‹ as well as on statuary and wood and metal architectural elements. An essential volume, complete with a directory of key plants and horticultural details, a reference section, and 130 glorious color photos of gardens around the world. Sunniva Harte1s previous books include <i>The Perfect Country Garden</i> and <i>Zen Gardening.</i>
