"In Part 1, van Sweden describes formative influences and outlines his credo: bold, massed, asymmetrical plant groupings, reverence for site, low maintenance, and attention to all seasons. Part 2 explores design strategies and then embarks on a garden tour to show the rationale behind specific plant choices and design decisions. Part 3, "Planting Your Garden Step-by Step," gives the nuts and bolts and hundreds of useful tips, and Part 4, "Favorite Plants," offers a short, illustrated glossary of plants photographed in garden settings."--Jacket. | |
