This vintage book contains a fantastic guide to gardening, concentrating on wall and water gardens. It contains chapters on the plants native and most favourable to walls and ponds, giving instructions for their planting and propagations as well as common problems, pests, and much more. Contents include: The Dry-Walled Terrace Garden, Dry-Walling and Rock-Garden Constructions, The Rock-Wall in Shade, Native Plants in the Rock-Wall, Terrace and Garden Walls, Some Problems in Wall-Gardening, When to let the Wall Alone, etc. Gertrude Jekyll (1843 - 1932) was a British garden designer, horticulturist, photographer, craftswoman, artist, and writer. She is responsible for designing and creating over 400 gardens in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, as well as writing more than 1,000 articles for related magazines. She is credited with having had a significant influence on gardening by both British and American enthusiasts. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.
