Riassunto

No matter the design challenges your garden presents, the Bartletts have seen it and solved it! Once the horticultural bones of a garden have been laid out, the next questions generally considered are the manmade objects that are required. There are any number of approaches, and the savvy gardener, after determining what designs would be best suited to the site and how additions should be positioned, wonders: "What are the options?" Whether its benches, bridges, or birdhouses, paving stones, fountains, or gazebos, this is the "go to" source to find the answers. Here, in over 1000 full-colour photographs are the hundreds of possibilities that can be considered. On every page are multiple images of what can be bought "off the shelf" or reproduced by craftsman, structures and solutions displayed in every sort of position and environment. Whatever the challenge, the Bartletts have seen it, solved it, or recorded the best that exists. In twenty chapters, they lay out possibilities from around the world, each chapter preceded by an insightful essay on the history and evolution of the structure in question and the best way to approach the challenges of choice and location. For years to come and for gardeners worldwide, this will be the standard reference, an ambitious, comprehensive, and colourful compendium of the very best.
