Publisher's Synopsis
This book has a twofold purpose -- to give pleasure, as a thing of beauty, while also providing practical help to those making new gardens or intending to reconstruct old ones. Numerous books concerning gardening have been written from the point of view of the cultivation of plants, but few, as this one, on the subject of garden building. The pictures and text are the work of one who has practised the art of garden making in Australia for the past twenty years, embracing gardens of but 50 feet frontage to those of acres in country districts. Inspiration and help will be derived from the examples of work and from the practical solutions given to problems met with every day in garden making.
