Description
"As you travel from storied garden to immortal woods, you'll see how designers of old used the elements of nature to create and modify the climate, soothe the spirit, delight the eye, and serve that timeless objective of all garden designers - the encouragement of desire and love. More than merely an enticing, beautifully illustrated tour of the greatest gardens of all time (with keen attention to features used to create microclimates and practical suggestions for adapting the wonders of old to the needs of the new), "Garden and Climate" synthesizes all the virtues of gardens - metaphysical journey, the benefits of passive design, and the idea of garden as art - into one inspiring whole, interweaving proportion, function, and comfort. You cannot read this book without wishing you were in a garden. And, if you are the creator of one garden or many gardens, this book will be the source of a lifetime of inspiration."--
