Another super collaboration between Jeff Cox and Jerry Pavia for Abbeville Press, Decorating Your Garden is about everything in the garden except the plants—pathways, walls, fences, gates, waterfalls, furniture, statuary, ponds, lighting, tree houses, swings, fountains, arbors, trellises, pergolas, and more.
An appendix describes more than 20 simple construction projects that anyone can do, and there's a source list for garden decorations and furniture suppliers.
Over 160 specially commissioned color photos show you what these garden decorations look like in place. Pavia took shots in private and public gardens in the U.S., Canada, England, and France. The book is now translated into French for the European market.
Here’s a quote from the book:
“Personal, human expression determines how we decorate our gardens.
This book is devoted to describing the many ways people decorate their gardens, and the many things they use in this pursuit. The purpose of decorating a garden—which we often (incorrectly) assume is decorative enough with no help from us—is not to gild the lily, but to enshrine the lily in a place that illuminates its transcendent beauty."
