Description

Urbanites, the book suggests, need natural sanctuary more than rurals. Toward that end, harried wage slaves with enough cash are urged to consider design of their garden in terms of space and scale, light, soil, water, and plants. Then, how to approach the garden, whether it be to create a sense of cultural mystery and magic (mostly through props and configurations), or the feel of nature further from cultural manipulation. Other topics include creating rooms with garden views, balcony retreats, and "family havens." Color photos illustrate the design concepts and a small, annotated directory of plants provides a finish.
