The Planters
of the English Landscape Garden: Botany, Trees and the Georgics by Douglas Chambers
There have been many studies of the English landscape garden of the late 17th and early
18th centuries, but most of these have concentrated on the tastes of owners or the
technical plans of designers. This illustrated book by Douglas D. C. Chambers instead
discusses the philosophy of gardening and landscaping that developed during this period,
the gardeners who made the gardens, and the new planting materials available to them. |
