Description
How do you garden creatively and make
the best use of garden space, achieve
special colour effects and the harmonious
arrangement of plants? How do you make
a sunken garden, a water garden, a
tapestry hedge, a fragrant bench? Kerry
Carman offers a new and exciting
approach to gardening, bringing a wealth
of knowledge and experience which will
benefit all gardeners.
The Creative Gardener is also a down-
to-earth and comprehensive gardening
manual. Practical aspects such as ‘the six
S’s’ – the important elements to consider
when creating a garden from scratch –
and the choice of plants, where to place
them, and how to nurture them are all
covered thoroughly.
You may refer to this book for its
helpful hints, or you may browse through
it simply for pleasure, reading for example
of changing garden fashions, the rare
moonflower vine, the double galtonia, the
discovery of a ‘magic violet’, or the
author’s joyful account of the small
pleasures of the garden.
Each of us has the potential to make the
garden a beautiful and restful place. No
matter how much or how little time you
have to devote to gardening, this book will
awaken your senses, fire your imagination,
and enable you to realise the creative
gardener within yourself.
