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.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art and Practice of Landscape Gardening It is not the author's intention by this book to give another history of landscape gardening; his intention is rather to record the present development of the art and his own relation to, and practice of it. The love of natural picturesqueness is of very modern growth in England. Its rise was coincident with that of the modern novel in literature, and of genre painting in art. Little more than a century has, with the aid of conducing influences, ripened the feeling to a passion. Peace and augmenting prosperity have been necessary conditions for advancing the art.

Download or read book The Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening Classic Reprint written by Joshua Major and published by Forgotten Books. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Gardening Studies The work illustrated and described in this unpretending book represents the author's own undertakings, with one single exception, the pond in Central Park. These concrete examples are selected to show by picture and pen how some problems of landscape gardening were solved by him. They represent certain leading types of work and in a simple way some of the basic principles of the art. It will be noticed that no reference has been made to the actual design of architectural structures. The difficulty with the landscape architect has often been, that he will insist on designing buildings, something which is really outside of his domain. His province is to deal with Nature and render her more beautiful, more enticing, more lovely in every respect; but always herself, always Nature. It needs a lifetime of study to catch the spirit of her beauty and transfix and utilize it by intelligent manipulation for man's use and enjoyment. There are broad and simple principles of the art, which should be reflected in a more or less modified way in all good landscape-gardening work.

Download or read book The Book of Garden Design Classic Reprint written by Charles Thonger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Garden Design Making consists in the endeavour to duplicate a whole landscape on a small scale - this was an error into which Brown's followers blindly fell - but because so much that is of value to us may be gathered from an intelligent study of the means by which Nature achieves her most beautiful effects. The disposition of wood and water in a stretch of well-balanced scenery, the beautifully pro portioned effect of level and rising ground, of valleys and hills; all these afford an object lesson, which, at some time or other, is bound to prove suggestive when endeavouring to forecast results in artificially arranged grounds. Nature, then, is the school where the novice should go to be thoroughly taught the rudiments of his art. Not only will he learn much that is not to be found in books, but his love of the picturesque and beautiful will be fostered and encouraged - a necessary proceeding if he is to achieve any measure of success as a maker of gardens.

N 0 one, perhaps, deliberately thinks that his landscape is to be realized at once. Yet many act wholly without reference to the future, haste blinding their eyes. There are three ways in which the mischief appears. First, men are in such a hurry to plant, that the question whether the soil is fit for plantations is quite disregarded.
