Duck Hill Journal by Page Dickey Pdf

This is a record of one year of a nine-year project to create a garden on a scrubby rural plot within commuting distance of New York City. Two of Duck Hill's three acres belong to the horses, dogs, chickens, geese and other animals who appear in this journal, but the heart of the land - and of the book - is the garden; the white garden, the herb garden, the main garden, the hedges, the shrub roses, the nasturtium border and all the other plants and plans in Page Dickey's project.

The English Country House Garden by Marcus Harpur,George Plumptre Pdf

There is something special about the English country house garden: from its quiet verdant lawns to its high yew hedges, this is a style much-desired and copied around the world. The English country house is most often conceived as a private, intimate place, a getaway from working life. A pergola, a sundial, a croquet lawn, a herbaceous border of soft planting; here is a space to wander and relax, to share secrets, and above all to enjoy afternoon tea. But even the most peaceful of gardens also take passion and hard work to create. The English Country House Garden takes a fresh look at the English country house garden, starting with the owners and the stories behind the making of the gardens. Glorious photographs capture the gardens at their finest moments through the seasons, and a sparkling and erudite text presents twenty-five gardens - some grand, some personal, some celebrated, some never-before-photographed - to explore why this garden style has been so very enduring and influential. From the Victorian grandeur of Tyntesfield and Cragside, to the Arts & Crafts simplicity of Rodmarton Manor and Charleston; from Scampston, in the same family since the 17th century, to new gardens by Dan Pearson and Tom Stuart-Smith; and with favourites such as Hidcote and Great Dixter alongside new discoveries, this book will be a delicious treat for garden-lovers.
