The first book in a new series, Pocket Gardens provides design solutions from
professional landscape architects for small garden spaces. Landscaped looks that
may have seemed possible only in large areas can be achieved on a small terrace
or patio, a roof or townhouse garden, or on a small lot-and this book shows readers
how. Each garden features a "big idea"-the design solution that makes that garden
special.
More than thirty gardens by twenty noted landscape architects are presented with
beautiful color photographs, along with plans and drawings that provide detailed
guidance. Readers are shown ways to achieve a range of looks, from a traditional
New England garden to an avant garde garden fashioned from recycled glass.
Professional tricks are revealed, including how to make small outdoor spaces
appear larger using screening devices, terracing, "the borrowed view," and water to
create reflections, as well as paving and planting techniques.
