From Publishers Weekly
A volume in the "Gardening by Design" series, this recommends eight garden designs ranging from a "flower arranger's garden" (employing more foliage than flowers) to a garden for "the sloth," or lazy gardener, to the "pocket handkerchief garden," to the "suburban strip." The helpfulness of designs is limited: size notations are not included, and a surfeit of plant materials is suggested. (The 129 different plants urged for the flower ar ranger's garden would leave little space for flowers and overwhelm design criteria.) On the other hand, the 30 color photographs of foliage combinations serve as effective teaching tools, though some could be better identified and reproduced. And the chapter on foliage plants not green in colorgold, variegated, red, silver, bluewill interest readers intent on brightening shady spots or dressing up gardens without flowers. Assuming a knowledge of plants, de Bray chose not to include illustrations in her otherwise informative "A-Z" plant list.

Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. Pappe. Englischsprachige Originalausgabe, ein Band der Reihe: Gardening by Design. Mit zahlreichen farbigen Abbildungen (Fotografien) und s/w Zeichnungen und acht Gartenplänen rund um die Gestaltung "grüner", also durch Blatt- und Pflanzenformen wirkender Gärten. Mit Index. Aus dem Verlagstext: "For those whose enthusiasm for gardening is frustrated by lack of time, the many beautiful foliage plants available - including trees, ferns, grasses and waterside plants - provide a much longer season of interest than most flowering plants and need less care and attention. Flower arrangers and gardeners with a keen interest in shape, colour, texture and form will also appreciate the benefits of foliage plants - particularly the wonderful variations of colour from grey, silver and white to black, red, purple and blue that a "green" garden can provide."
