The Intimate Garden: Twenty Years and Four Seasons in Our Garden

Garden and landscape designer Gordon Hayward and his wife, Mary, take the measure of their own garden-in process for more than twenty years-and tell readers how to make their gardens welcoming and personal, truly a reflection of their needs and dreams. As the Haywards point out, "successful gardens grow naturally out of their owners; great garden design is honest, authentic, and unselfconscious." With the practical advice and achievable aims that make his other books so rewarding, Hayward lets readers in on the secrets that make his garden outstanding, giving them a rare look at a year in a garden including before-and-after shots, detailed garden maps and plant lists.
