review: Garden Design - Principles and Practice

Barbara Resch addresses the beginning of their very informative, rich garden book, illustrated with a small garden style story in which it formal to the architectural, treats the Cottage and the natural garden in detail . I am currently minimalist garden particularly excited because they are limited to the essentials and provide a place to relax, functional and easy to care are, have a clear, geometric forms and an orderly planting have, (see: p.18-21) . The Author presents different planting methods for the minimalist garden, and we learn among other things, that one of Europe's most famous landscape gardener of postmodernism, Dieter Kienast (1945-1998), inspired the design of its parks and gardens of the abstract art of minimalism was. The movement of the minimal art is for art direction, which is characterized by objectivity, clarity and reduced geometric shapes, (see: p. 20).

course, I also like cottage gardens and romantic but the design and flowers for. In connection with these gardens, one reads about Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932), whose reputation as a famous Garden of England artist reverberates today. You learn the design principles of the cottage garden know learns of the significance of the roses and vines in such gardens, in order to then deal with natural gardens and the concept of sustainability possible.

are detailed in the following the golden rules explained in the garden design that are called:

Rule 1: a line to create the environment
Rule 2: a relationship to the style of the house make
Rule 3: Make the principle of Yin and Yang
Rule 4: Planning with the season
Rule 5: the Golden Ratio note
Rule 6: law of symmetry and asymmetry
Rule 7: create garden spaces
Rule 8: towards designing harmonious
Rule 9: Plants combine harmoniously
(For details, see pages 42-65)

Very enlightening way, are the descriptions of Yin and Yang, along with the basic idea Feng shui, which I been able to gain a lot and they have tried for years not only in the garden implement.

The author shows how to plan a garden reasonable. She locates from the positions, and plans with the compass, to know writes to the soil types and explains how to improve the soil. Focuses on compost, minerals, lime and mulch. About neighbor right to be informed. Here, they concern the overhanging branches, fence and property line, etc. (read more on p. 80ff).

is further shown how to create garden plans and what you need this and it explains how a concept plan is designed gradually garden a reality. Three drafts of a garden as you get to know and also examples of different gardens, including small gardens, roof gardens, long and narrow and wide gardens. Then you learn to build a dream garden. What materials are needed and to what protective equipment is needed for the garden site, one can read in detail. It will even be informed, how to lay drains, (more on page 133).

From page 136 we learn to plant a nice garden to make. The essays are: trees, shrubs, grasses, ferns, bulbs and tubers, summer flowers. This gives a very good overview of all these plant species and can look more closely at the color wheel and deal in this regard with warm and cool colors. Teaching is one of color combinations, gradients and color contrast, reading of general information on planting opportunities, such as the gravel bed and the traditional perennial border.

Chapter garden design will be taught to build walkways, pergolas and to erect fences to lay grass to plant hedges and trees and flowers to create a meadow or a pond, u.sw.. After all, one is even aware of garden furniture, even the artistic perfection of the garden is not spared by sculptures.

for all gardeners and those who want to be, the book is an asset. I recommend it with pleasure and joy.
