| Publisher Description: First published in 1901, this book explores the traditional formal English garden in all its majesty, looking at its history, contemporary state, styles, techniques, and much more. Beautiful-illustrated and full of interesting information, this classic volume will appeal to all with an interest in gardening and its vibrant history. Contents include: "The Formal Method and the Landscape Gardener", "The Formal Garden in England", "The Formal Garden in England", "The Formal Garden in England", "The Formal Garden-continued", "The End of the Formal Garden and the Landscape School", "The Courts, Terraces, Walks", Knots, Parterres, Grass-Work, Mounts, Bowling-Greens, Theatres", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
