Free Downloads The Arts And Crafts Garden (Shire Library 771)
The Arts and Crafts Movement espoused values of simplicity, craftsmanship and beauty quite counter to Victorian and Edwardian industrialism. Though most famous for its architecture, furniture and ornamental work, between the 1890s and the 1930s the movement also produced gardens all over Britain whose designs, redolent of a lost golden era, had worldwide influence. These designs, by luminaries such as Gertrude Jekyll and Sir Edwin Lutyens, were engaging and romantic combinations of manor-house garden formalism and the naive charms of the cottage garden – but from formally clipped topiary to rugged wild borders, nothing was left to chance. Sarah Rutherford here explores the winding paths and meticulously shaped hedges, the gazebos and gateways, the formal terraces and the billowing border plantings that characterised the Arts and Crafts garden, and directs readers and gardeners to where they can visit and be inspired by these beautiful works of art.

Researching Gertrude Jekyll and I found this book really helpful with regards to her and the arts and crafts period.
THis little book is packed with history, information and great garden inspiration. I am so glad that I purchased it.
I thought this book would be one of a larger and covering a different scale, but it is acceptable just the same.
A charming little introduction to the Arts & Crafts garden.
