Soma Basics Garden Design by David Stevens A simplified guide to the tools and tricks of prefessional garden designers begins with an overview of standard garden styles and describes how to make the most of odd spaces, surveying, implementing plans, and much more. Original. Great Gardens by The Gardens of William Morris by John Simmons The founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, William Morris drew enormous inspiration from nature in the creation of his intricate patterns. Yet until the publication of this book, few people have realized the enormous impact he had on the evolution of the English garden. In fact, it was Morris who so inspired Gertrude Jekyll that she tamed her attention to the garden. Exploring the gardens Morris designed at his three homes and his factory, this lively mix of biography, anecdote and horticultural information details Morris's influence on garden design from the nineteenth century to today. The text draws greatly on Morris's lectures, poetry, and prose to illuminate his thoughts on gardening. The book also describes the native plants Morris included in his designs. Over forty plants -- all of which are readily available in the United States and Canada -- are pictured, and their growing habits defined in full. The interplay of nature and art is a highlight of the book which features over fifty examples of Morris's works, as well as paintings by Burne-Jones, Millais, and Rossetti shown side-by-side with the plants that inspired them. The Magic Land by Julie Moir Messervy Through meditative and hands-on exercises, garden design tips, anecdotes drawn from Messervy's gardening experiences and those of her clients, students, and family, and thoroughly engaging prose, this inspirational guide shows readers how to create a unique gardenscape from the elements of their imagination, memory, and dreams. 33 illustrations.
