Acerca del libro
The author presents a largely visual history of the period from 1993 to 2007, using his sketch plans, elevations and single-point perspective design drawings to describe his, ‘ VISIONS’, for the small suburban London flower garden attached to his 1903 terraced house.
The eventual scheme adopted centres around a unique Summerhouse inspired by the nearby, “Tea Caddy”, Tower of Pope’s Villa overlooking the River Thames. The evolution of this, ‘REALITY’, is shown by a sequence of the author’s photographs, including panoramas, and related planting plans over the period 2007 to 2014. ‘Purple and gold’, themed plantings of herbaceous perennials and the geometric landscaping related to the Summerhouse, are consistent features of the overall design.
Sample records of flowering periods are presented graphically in an Annex providing a rare phenology related to the needs of amateur gardeners and designers.
A new revised version is graced by a generous Foreword by Rosemary Alexander VMM(RHS), Principal of the English Gardening School, Chelsea, London.
