Publisher's Synopsis
Canadian author Margaret Atwood said in her work Two-Headed Poems, 'This is the rock garden. In it, the stones too are flowers', exemplifying the attraction that a rock garden holds for many people. Rock gardens appeal not just to plant enthusiasts but also to those with an interest in geology. A successful rock garden depends on skilful use of stone to create an aesthetically pleasing design, as well as a suitable habitat for plants. This lavishly illustrated book will not only appeal to those with an interest not only in rock garden, but also those who want to know more about the social history of gardening through history.
