Garden Stone: Creative Ideas, Practical Projects and Inspiration for Purely Decorative Usesby Barbara Pleasant
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:GARDEN STONE presents visual inspiration for creative ways to use stone in gardens, coupled with the practical information needed to carry out those ideas in home landscapes. More than 250 full-color photographs by Dency Kane demonstrate how gardeners can exploit the contrasting textures and colors of stone and plants to create all kinds of stone projects, from dramatic focal points to practical garden features. Stone images come from gardens in all parts of North America, celebrating the variety and beauty of stone in different geographic locations. Basic information and clear examples help readers enjoy the magic of working with stone. Projects include patterned stone mosaic walkways, simple meditation gardens, a dry streambed planted with water-conserving plants, a raised herb garden, several rock gardens, a pocket pond, a stone-filled water garden, and stone and water features that attract birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Gardeners will especially appreciate learning how to interplant in stone walls and paths, erect an espalier against a stone wall, grow a moss garden, and create unique stone sculptures.
