In Paths and Walkways, Hazel White shows how to create a marvelous garden that invites all who enter to linger, stroll, and unwind in sun-dappled luxury. Unlike most garden books you've seen, this one doesn't just make you yearn for the beautiful gardens pictured—it explains exactly how to achieve them yourself, with step-by-step instructions, lists of tools and materials, notes on maintenance, estimated costs, and location tips.
You don't need to be a master gardener or spend a lot of money to transform your outdoor space into a slice of paradise. With these easy instructions, any bit of land can become a fantastic alfresco retreat. Here are complete "recipes" for classic stone and gravel walks as well as fun contemporary paths by some of today's most innovative designers—all explained so simply anyone can build them.
Author Hazel White begins by revealing the secrets of using paths to create an intriguing garden space. Paths can lure people into the garden; reveal it in degrees by leading under an arch, around a corner, or towards the sound of water; and conclude at a pleasant spot with a view or bench. They can be intricately patterned to encourage a slower pace, or simple to make a quiet foil to plants or architecture. Filled with clever solutions and unique ideas from award-winning gardens, Paths and Walkways is a practical resource for transforming your home environment. Vissza
