title: Gardens by Design
author: Noel Kingsbury
description: Gardeners looking for advice from a who's who of top designers will revel in the insights Kingsbury has collected. Having put together a circle of creative thinkers, Kingsbury draws out from each individual a rich dialogue filled with ideas and concepts that will have readers thinking about exactly what it is they want in a garden. To personalize and give character to a space, either with the help of a hired professional or on your own, one must not only look at practical considerations, but also clarify needs and desires. This guide should help in understanding the relationships between house, grounds, and garden style. The aesthetic notion of a formal approach versus a naturalistic asymmetry is illuminated, and such elements as paths and borders, plant choices, and water features are discussed; and all suggestions are shown in a profusion of color photographs. A great sourcebook that promises to inspire budding green thumbs while stimulating those with experience. <i>Alice Joyce</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>
