Garden Styles

By Kathleen S. Dickason

If you have a space that is or can be a blank canvas and you are looking for ideas as to what style of garden you might like, then this book will be of use to you.

The author begins with a chapter on general gardening practices and planting methods and follows with ten chapters covering Cottage Gardens, Country Gardens, Natural Gardens, Foliage Gardens, Fragrant Gardens, Habitat Gardens, Rock Gardens, Shade Gardens and Water Gardens. At the end of each chapter is a list of suggested plants with descriptions and photos which can be helpful.

At the back of the book are a Directory of Garden Suppliers (of little or no use to Northern California Gardeners for it covers the entire United States and has no local businesses) and an Index of Plants (of some use).

Garden Styles (ISBN: 0-7853-1685-X) was published in 1996 by Publications International.
