Summary |
"No matter the size or shape, any outdoor space can be made into a place of calm and beauty. After more than forty years in the landscaping and gardening business, Jan Johnsen has distilled her hard-earned wisdom and experience into 135 unique, eye-opening techniques that will help anyone realize their garden's full potential. Illustrated with lush photography, every tip is clear, concise, and inspiring. When you're planting flowers or laying a walking path, for instance, use a curve rather than a straight line for a professional and photogenic look. Or bring balance to your backyard by trimming your hedges on a cascade that matches the natural slope of your land. Aiming to bring garden magic to all, Johnsen educates and demystifies. In addition to design tips, you'll find recommendations for plants, flowers, and shrubs to suit your taste and climate. Both instructive and inspiring, Gardentopia is at home on the coffee table as well as in the field. With gorgeous photos and Johnsen's sage advice, see the potential of your space through the lens of an expert."--Back cover. |
