The Art and Craft of Garden Making (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781443755320)

This book contains Thomas. H. Mawson's 1912 gardening manual; "The art & craft of garden making". This volume constitutes the definitive guide to gardening, and includes information and tips on a vast range of subjects. Contents include: "The Practice of Garden Design", "The Choice of a Site and its Treatment", "Entrances and Carriage Courts", "Gates and Fences for Garden and Park", "Drives, Avenues and Service Roads", "Terraces and Terrace Gardens", "Flower Gardens, Beds, and Borders", etcetera. Thomas Hayton Mawson (1861 - 1933), was a British garden designer, landscape architect, and town-planner. Many vintage texts such as this - particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before - are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
