Product Description

New materials as well as a new approach to planting are bringing a dynamic, contemporary look to classic formal design. For the busy gardener, with little time to spare and often little space to enjoy, contemporary formality offers the opportunity to experiment within a well-ordered framework. This book aims to show how subtly organized spaces and well-chosen plants and materials can create a classic yet individual garden requiring the minimum of maintenance.
