About this book
A path, a seat or a bird bath can shape the way a garden is experienced. Mary Harrod Northend considers these features alongside pergolas, steps, entrances, pools, sundials and fountains in an illustrated guide to garden ornament. Her discussion begins with older flower plots and box borders, then considers how paths can connect separate spaces, preserve a tree or draw attention to a planned view.
Practical advice sits beside an affectionate account of garden life. Northend discusses the spacing and care of box plants, the balance of borders and the purpose behind a curved walk. In her treatment of bird baths, she connects decoration with shelter, suitable planting and protection from cats, even suggesting an inexpensive lined box. The book offers readers interested in garden design a period view of how useful structures, flowers and visiting birds can work together.
