The Gardener's Book of Patterns

There is something about pattern that sets our minds alight. Pattern serves many purposes: it instantly gives a design or space order and structure; it creates rhythm and it can make a garden or area feel unified and complete. Pattern in gardens can be blatant as well as designed in such a way the pattern becomes subconscious.
Fully endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society, Jack Wallington's practical reference guide shows readers how to choose and use plants with pattern, and transform their gardens with texture, shape and flair. The book is packed with photographs, drawings and illustrated planting plans featuring 'patterns' that can be scaled up or down to fit the area being planted. Case studies demonstrate the principles presented in the book, with examples including patterns for 'natural' designs as well as more formal approaches that create a stronger sense of order and detail.
Exploring how to bring pattern into every aspect of the garden, from lawns and borders to paving and water features, this book is the perfect resource for the reader looking to revitalize their garden, large or small.
