The Garden : Elements And Styles

NEW EDITION

In glossary form, this book by British garden historian Tony Musgrave examines more than 400 historic and modern, private and public, iconic and lesser-known gardens around the world. It describes the styles, characteristics, types and ornamentation of modern and historic gardens, with informative definitions and descriptions.

Among the spaces analysed in this book are the Baroque gardens of Versailles and rarely published tropical courtyards by contemporary designers, artists' creations such as Frida Kahlo's courtyard in Mexico and Derek Jarman's coastal garden at Dungeness, England. In addition to the work of private garden owners and designers, the book also features the work of emerging and prominent designers including Andrea Cochran, Emily Erlam, Raymond Jungles, Dan Pearson and Piet Oudolf.
