Secret Garden Spaces

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Gardens filled with magic and hidden rooms--intimate retreats surrounded by curtains of foliage, bounded by archways, and offering summerhouses and gazebos as refuge. Open these pages to enter such wondrous spaces, revealed through outstanding color photographs, as well as by a lyrical text. These gardens have exhilarating arcaded paths, fountains, and grottos; light-filtering trees brushing up against dramatic stone entranceways; and doors tucked right inside hedges. Of course, every enchanted image will inspire you to create your own Eden, and embedded in the poetry is practical advice on the many design possibilities--romantic arbors and bowers, urban courtyards and rooftops, wild and woodland gardens, dens and treehouses--plus information on plants and furnishings. Five case studies of real private paradises bring together plans and specially photographed sequences that permit you to penetrate their innermost mysteries.
