Garden-Craft Old and New
John Dando Sedding and Edward Francis Russell
A garden, John Sedding believed, is a work of art with soil for a canvas. He weighs old craft against new fashion, arguing the theory and art of the garden with an architect's eye for proportion and grace. Thoughtful, elegant essays on what makes a garden truly beautiful. For the reader who thinks a border deserves as much thought as a building.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
