Summary

This stunning guide to garden design is the ultimate in inspiration. 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. 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. The authors describe how you too can achieve this kind of retreat for reflection in your own backyard. 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.

Excerpts

When we began our garden years ago, it was as sculptors who loved gardening. We did not have, and still do not have, a plan for how the place should look or what it would become in the future. We started for simple enjoyment in the act of gardening and a love of the results, of the atmosphere that it produced. We appreciated how it made us feel. From the beginning we were keenly aware of our feelings about, or our impressions of, pot arrangements, plantings in beds, placement of fountains, and uses of color. Did the area we had just changed from the previous year or newly re-made this year move us in some way? How? How did it seem to affect visitors? We gardened by just doing what worked for us, though we also wanted to know something about how it worked without attempting to intellectualize it too much ...
