Publisher's Synopsis

Wood and Garden is a classic book written by Gertrude Jekyll, a renowned British horticulturist and garden designer. The book is a comprehensive guide to creating beautiful and functional garden designs that incorporate natural elements such as wood and stone. The book is divided into three parts: The Woodland Garden, Trees and Shrubs in the Garden, and The Open-Air Garden. In the first section, Jekyll shares her expertise on designing a garden in a woodland setting, including selecting appropriate plants and creating a naturalistic atmosphere. The second section focuses on the use of trees and shrubs in garden design, with detailed information on selecting and planting these essential elements. The final section of the book explores the open-air garden, with advice on designing gardens that incorporate both formal and informal elements. Jekyll discusses the importance of color and texture in garden design, as well as the use of garden ornaments and furniture to create a cohesive and inviting outdoor space.
