Accenting Your Garden

From Booklist
The broad notion of "accent in the garden" is explored from different perspectives in this useful addition to the Fine Gardening Design Guides. Fundamentally, a fourfold approach is used to present ways to individualize an outdoor space. Walls and fences, paths and patios are key elements in distinguishing a setting. Ornamentation is suggested for creating drama, and garden structures are used to amplify displays of roses and vines, as well as to add an architectural presence. Contributors write with authority and enthusiasm, offering numerous projects for do-it-yourselfers. Look for high-quality photography, a signature of Fine Gardening magazine, and illustrated, step-by-step instructions for creating lovely features, such as wood arbors and metal trellises.
