Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design in Landscape Gardening This book is based largely upon lectures offered in the department of landscape gardening at the univers1ty of Illinois. The subject of plant color and the theory of color planting is given to the public with some reluctance. In Spite of much time and study it still seems inadequate. The sub jcet is, however, presented from a new standpoint and it is hoped that other workers in the same field may make much further progress along the way here pointed out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural Style in Landscape Gardening This change, which has marked all realms of thought, 'has been as effective in the field Of land scape gardening as anywhere else. TO those Of us who remember it, it has been equally agreeable. We may fairly claim to have achieved a full freedom in these matters. Every well-trained landscape architect in America designs freely in either the formal or the natural style, frequently using both styles in different parts Of the same project. The ill-natured polemics of the seven ties have disappeared altogether from the garden literature Of the present day.

Download or read book Landscape Garden Series Garden Design Classic Reprint written by Ralph Rodney Root and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Garden Series Garden Design A garden has much the same relation to landscape architecture as the design and building of houses has to architecture. Few architects specialize in residences and few landscape men specialize in gardens. The architect must design the large buildings and the landscape man must design the parks and solve the larger problems of landscape gardening. This does not mean that the problem of house design is not as complex a one as the other problems of architecture, nor that the problem of garden design is not as complex a one as other landscape problems, but the conditions under which the professions are working makes these fields less attractive than others. People in America are ever talking of democracy in landscape gardening as if bare lawns, no privacy in the out-of-doors, and uninteresting architecture, mean democracy. It seems to me, rather, that democracy means freedom, at least in our home life. There are certain principles to which every one must agree, but we are also supposed to have, first of all, a chance to develop individuality. In place of giving up all of the grounds about the house to the street view, let us keep a small part of it ourselves for the family use. The typical American city street, with open lawns and tree-shaded walks, gives a certain sense of freedom that I should regret to see lost, but we can still keep these and have our gardens arranged so as to extend the house plan into the home grounds. In the design of a house, the first essential of good planning is to have it in perfect harmony with its surroundings. We should plan for, first of all, the connection of the various rooms of the house with the grounds. The entrance for the family should be a part of the entrance walk, the service should connect with the service portion of the house, and the more private rooms should be connected in a most intimate way with the private portion of the grounds, such as terraces and lawns.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gardens: Their Form and Design Gentle reader, Before this book goes forth, to find a place perhaps in the homes of garden-lovers, I should like to explain how it has come into existence. It has been my habit for many years past to note anything that has struck me as being of special interest or beauty in the many gardens which I have visited; and thus I have a large collection of memoranda. These have been carefully preserved with a view to transmitting them to students at the College of Gardening at Glynde. Some of my young people tell me that they have been helped by them, and have been made to see beauties and detect faults in garden design which otherwise might have passed unnoticed. It is in the hope that owners of gardens may find in my recollections something to ponder over and consider that they are now offered to the Public. I have sought to give suggestions for the perfection of gardens, both small and large, dealing not so much with the colour and arrangement of individual plants as with the lie of the ground and the planning of restful lines, as comprehended by the far-reaching Art of Garden Design.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Garden Design: And Architects Gardens; Two Reviews For them. We live at a time when, through complexity of thought and speech, artistic questions have got into a maze of confusion. Even teachers by profession confuse them selves and their unfortunate pupils with vague and hyper refined talk about art and schools and styles, while all the time much worse work is done than in days when simpler, clearer views were held. To prove this there is the example of the great M aster's work and the eternal laws of nature, on the study of which all serious art must be for ever based. Beneath all art there are laws, however subtle, that cannot be ignored without error and waste and in garden design there are lessons innumerable both in wild and cultivated Nature which will guide us well if we seek to understand them simply.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening I have followed Landscape Gardeners, indeed, whose practice has been merely to give rough sketches of their projected improvements, and then to leave their execution to others. But such is not my idea of a Land scape Gardener's duty, for in this way the Home view, or Dress Grounds, which ought always to be brought to the nicest finish, because they are constantly under the eye, are often left in the most slovenly and inartistic state; thus exposing the artist to censure, and occasioning disappointment and vexation to those who consult him. It is thought by many that, if the art of Landscape Gardening were more generally studied, the result would be materially to injure the profes sion, by destroying its emoluments, - that landed proprietors and others would design their own plans, lay out their own estates, and superintend their own alterations. But this is not my opinion, for I have generally found persons of the most cultivated taste peculiarly anxious for improve ments, and most ready to employ a professional man to execute them. And this is reasonable; for the same good taste which shews them what is wrong, also convinces them of their own inability, from want of practical experience, to rectify it. However, my object in this work is to assist in promoting a general taste for Landscape Gardening, and I hope my readers will find considerable assistance from a careful perusal of its pages. In them are suggestions for the Laying-out and Arrangement of both Park and Villa Grounds, and for the Planting of Forests, down to that of Flower beds. They will find, also, what methods to pursue and what to avoid, - what constitute harmonious beauties, and what discord.

Download or read book Landscape Garden Series Planting the Home Grounds Classic Reprint written by Noble P. Hollister and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Garden Series, Planting the Home Grounds The results produced by planting are so strikingly obvious that the layman is but indifferently impressed with the other factors of a successful landscape plan, and as a consequence, landscape develop ment, whatever the type, finds favor or disfavor in the popular eye solely from the point of view of planting. This fact is a source of some discouragement to the intelligent designer, who realizes that good design is the real basis of his work, and cherishes that above all else. Without a good design as a basis for landscape development, plant material ceases to function as a delightful medium in which to render the plan, but serves instead as a means for covering up or blotting out unsightly mistakes. According to natural sequence, the design is the most important factor in a landscape development, for unless an intelligent design is first prepared for the whole development, much time, labor and expense will be wasted. Planting is next in importance, for it is the material medium that gives life to the design. But so far as popular approval is concerned, the landscape architect realizes that practically his only source of satisfaction in working out a good design is his own artistic conscience, and that the public loudly praises a successful planting.
