Product Info Reviews

Description:

This coffee-table book focuses on those inanimate objects placed in the garden to surround and accent its animate life. Divided into four clear sections, "Garden Antiques and Collectibles," "Hanging Baskets and Planters," "Garden Gates and Arches," and "Fountains and Cascades," Garden Accessories is an idea book--a resource for gardeners who've finished the difficult work of planting and now want to add flashes of originality. The photographs here are striking and clear: fountains lit up at sunset, secret gates leading to hidden meadows, wheelbarrows planted with wildflowers. Landscapes vary from high desert to soggy Britain. The point is not to admire any one garden in its entirety, but instead to study the placement of an object within a certain tableau. Garden Accessories will appeal to a wide variety of tastes, from lovers of Grecian urns to fans of elaborate birdhouses. The authors hope to help you figure out the mood you are after--before you head for the garden store and cart something home. --Emily White
