About This Item
London: The Garden Book Club. Very Good/Good. 1960. First Thus. Hard Cover. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Dust jacket, darkened spine, foxing, unclipped price on flap. Green cloth covered boards with black titling on spine. No ownership inscription. viii, 142 pages, 24 photographs and 14 line drawings, clean and tight. From the dust jacket flap. "Gardens are more than places in which to grow plants. A plot of grass and a few borders do not make a garden of character. It is the extra touch, the added features, the design, which makes it different, individual, a place to be appreciated, explored and enjoyed. You may feel you do not possess an eye for design in the garden. This is a 'do-it-yourself' book. With the spice of features the garden becomes a place of beauty and interest. The cost can be negligible - the old stone sink, the stonemason's 'junk' the basis of an arch or a sundial, any old stones and bricks. Even a 'pocket handkerchief' can soon be a landscape." .
