A garden, whether small or large, is made up of many different elements and details. Grouping these design elements is like a recipe: choosing a balance of the right details creates a perfect garden in any space.

Garden Details breaks down the elements of garden design and shows how each can be used to create unique garden spaces. It includes ideas for a multitude of garden elements – from distinctive stonewalls and manicured formal lines to artistic whimsy and colour-coordinated borders – in a variety of garden types ranging from water gardens through to drought-tolerant dry gardens.

Marg Thornell’s sumptuous photographs transport you from one garden to the next – in locations as diverse as Australia, England, Europe and the United States – and reveal how to make the most of your own garden space.

This valuable sourcebook can be used in many ways: from browsing for inspiration with nothing particular in mind to a more purposeful search to help with a particular project on the drawing board.

Garden Details is a book to immerse yourself in – to motivate you to create the garden paradise you want and deserve. Whether you are a complete novice or a professional landscape designer, Garden Details will provide you with all the ideas and inspiration you need to make your garden truly spectacular.

Surprising, enchanting, highly sophisticated…

A treasure trove of Bunny Mellon's garden design philosophy and advice from her personal archive.

Garden Secrets of Bunny Mellon is for anyone who has enjoyed time spent in a garden, from aspiring garden makers to those who manage large estates. This collection is comprised of extracts from Bunny's own writings and garden notes, as well as photographs and drawings from her archive.

Chapters are organized by Atmosphere (sky, horizon, shadows), Climate, Light, Space, Shape, Maintenance, and more--readers will feel as if Bunny Mellon has come alongside as a gardening guide and friend.

Bunny Mellon was of the affluent class and mingled along with her husband, Paul Mellon, in the circles of the East Coast gentry of the Kennedy and Reagan eras. But Mrs. Mellon, as she was respectfully called by those professional gardeners who worked with her most, wasn't snooty about social position or afraid to get her hands dirty in the rich soil of her family's Virginia farm. Beyond this, Bunny Mellon was known nationally and internationally as a style icon of her time, enjoying friendships with Givenchy, the Kennedys, and the like. Her personal passion was for design, and that was exhibited in her fashion and her garden.

A late acquaintance, Linda Holden learned that Bunny wanted to write a gardening book but never found the time. Searching the family's archive after Mrs. Mellon's death, the editors -- whom all shared personal relationships with Bunny -- discovered a trove of photographs, illustrations, and writings and have now turned it into the how-to gardening book Bunny had hoped to write.

About the Authors:

Linda Jane Holden is the author of The Gardens of Bunny Mellon, published October 2018.

Thomas Lloyd, grandson of Bunny Mellon, is president of the Gerard B. Lambert Foundation which was established by Bunny Mellon to honor her father.

Vertical gardening is the hottest new garden design concept.

An increasing number of consumers garden in limited spaces, and are searching for help in maximizing gardening space, whether that's an urban terrace, a narrow side yard, or a small intimate area in a landscape. Vertical gardening techniques offer solutions for a wide range of garden challenges, including growing edibles, personalizing a garden with unique focal points and decorative touches or simply hiding unsightly landscape elements. 

Landscape designers, Susan Lee Morrison and  Rebecca Sweet have filled this book with easy, affordable, inspirational vertical options that will help consumers create beautiful gardens that take advantage of vertical opportunities.

Filled with design tips, plant ideas and over 200 photos, Garden Up! offers inspiration and how-to information for enhancing any outdoor space with vertical elements. Authors Morrison and Sweet cover everything from living wall projects simple enough for a home gardener to tackle to creative solutions for blank walls and narrow beds.

In chapters like 'Arbors and Trellises' and 'Garden Secrets', the book offers a wealth of design advice and problem-solving solutions for traditional gardeners. Small-space gardeners, DIYers and those looking to incorporate the latest vertical techniques into their gardens will appreciate sections that examine 'skinny space' planting beds, urban gardens, edibles and living walls. In keeping with their problem-solving approach to gardening and design, Morrison and Sweet have arranged their plant picks chapter by solution rather than plant type.  Each chapter features a design spotlight that examines a specific garden and breaks down the elements that went into its creation. 

The range of gardens included in the book support the authors' belief that vertical gardening is more than a temporary trend - it's here to stay.
