A Moment in Time : Designing a Country Garden
Auteur(s) : Kathryn Herman
A renowned and award-winning landscape architect, Kathryn Herman is known for her high-end, poetic gardens that are both contemporary and imbued with an elegant softness inspired by English gardens, perfect for today's lifestyles and a beautiful way to modernise and complement a historic home.
In this book, she offers an exploration of the four seasons of her own garden, the historic Pepperidge Farm estate in Connecticut, which she has lovingly maintained and developed for over thirty years, gradually creating a variety of garden spaces rich in detail.
She breaks down her design process by walking through the garden in sections and adding thematic essays full of tips and tricks drawn from her own experience: form and structure, colour, ornamentation, integrating history, layered planting, creating meadows, growing an orchard, planning a perennial garden, creating a water garden, integrating edible plants and vegetables, creating a wildlife-friendly garden, and planning for the seasons.
