| A potted history for those who love Italy but do not have the time to read all the originals. It is a marvellous coffee table book and works very well in two ways. It will inspire you to go and seek out those gardens which are off the tourist trail and gives any reader a sense of how Renaissance and Mannerist gardens came to be. There are some wonderful photographs, although one or two are incorrectly titled, and a few early diagrams which enrich the text of this sumptous book.Only addresses and telephone numbers are given of the gardens featured so this book does require you to do a lot of practical planning before you go. It makes the perfect book however, to be read before and after the visit, in contrast to Italian Gardens (Helena Attlee ... Read More |

| 183.Topiary and the Art of Training Plants by: David Joyce April 01, 1999 |

List Price: £30.00 Gardening BookSale's Price: £21.00 You Save: £9.00 (30%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.50 |
| A well illustrated and good reference to the art of topiary and training plants. Leaning towards traditional topiary with plants such as yew and boxwood. Topiary with these plants is not executed overnight. A reasonable section on false topiary (making living sculptures with vigourous growing ivies)is described. Overall an excellent coffee table book to browse for ideas, particulary at the garden planning stage. |

| John Dawes is an "internationally renowned authority on fish, aquaria and outdoor fishkeeping" according to the publishers blurb on the jacket of this book. He has written and edited numerous books and articles on all things 'fishy', not to mention producing films and videos, editing trade journals and becoming a highly respected show judge. With this pedigree, you would expect "The Pond Owners Handbook" to be something special - and it is. The book is divided into five detailed and comprehensive sections - Pond Set up, Pond Fish,Pond Plants, Pond Wildlife and Pond Management - which deal with every kind of pond feature from a wildlife pond to a half barrel. The whole book is beautifully illustrated with both drawings and ... Read More |

| If you like flower-paintings to be nice, delicate little things, this is not the book for you. If, on the other hand, you are excited by bold colours and a superb handling of paint, you will probably like it. Many of the paintings were painted during Self's 2-year residency at Kew Gardens, so some of the flowers are exotic. Other paintings explore flowers you may well have in your garden. I say "explore" because she doesn't simply depict in a botanical sense. These flowers have real passion-in one sense, they form a kind of psychodrama. I don't like the term "coffee-table book" but you could put this on your coffee-table. It is a lovely book, and would make a good gift. Unlike many artbooks of this quality, it is not unduly expensive. |

| Picking up this book off the bookstore shelf you will be enhanted by the photos and the promise of this book. The aim is high, to bring together the worlds of the "natural" meadow and that of the garden. Some of the effects that have been acheived in Lloyd's garden at Dixter are great and his ability to champion the need for a little wild in the average garden is admirable. However, the fact that the Lloyd's dug up native orchids from the British countryside and planted them in his own garden is deplorable, made worse by the fact that he is not apologetic of this. Perhaps we should all take a trowel to Dixter and reclaim the wild from him. His knowledge of natural meadows is pretty minimal, and no indication ... Read More |
