The Minimalist Garden by Christopher Bradley-Hole
Minimalist gardens, with their emphasis on clean lines, pure form and a strong sense of space, are becoming increasingly popular. Exploring some of the very best examples - large and small, urban and rural - from around the world, award-winning garden designer Christopher Bradley-Hole explains how an understanding of space and proportion can be combined with a clever use of materials and imaginative planting to create a retreat of tranquil simplicity - perfect for those who want a place to unwind. The same principles are shown to be applicable to smaller gardens and to gardeners with a minimum of time to spare. - First British book on this increasingly popular and important area of garden design - Written by an award-winning and internationally acclaimed garden designer - Relevant to urban and rural gardens of all sizes and to ecologically aware and time-conscious gardeners - Features the work of acclaimed designers from around the world - Practical directories of appropriate materials and architectural plants
