A follow up to the hugely successful The Thoughtful Gardener (2017) this is the second book by Jinny Blom, one of the world’s leading garden designers.

What Makes a Garden builds upon the work of The Thoughtful Garden, giving a broader idea of how she thinks about garden design. In particular it emphasizes her multi-disciplinary approach, which embraces architecture, conservation and art, coupled with a strong holistic thread.

This fascinating and insightful book looks at how a garden should please all five senses; how it is an alchemical mix of the inanimate and the living; and also how it has to accommodate both the effects of time and the influences of culture.

This is not intended as a book of rules but rather a way of thinking about garden design and making sure it responds to the particularities of place, the culture and the demands of the client. Drawing on her work and experience over the last 20 years or so, the book gets to the heart of what people want and need from a garden and what makes it different from a natural landscape.

Reflecting Jinny‘s highly individual approach to garden design, the book is filled with warmth and character alongside her expert knowledge. With a broad appeal, this beautiful book will appeal to the widest audience of garden lovers: thoughtful yet practical and informative, it marries artistry with functionality.

A follow up to the hugely successful The Thoughtful Gardener (2017), What Makes a Garden is the second book by Jinny Blom, one of the world’s leading garden designers.

Recenzijas

'This is one of the years most engrossing, thought-provoking books * The English Garden * 'A wunderkammer of a book: so rich and idiosyncratic, its teeming ideas grounded in experience and experiment.'   -- Olivia Laing "While the information is extremely useful and helpful, the photography and gorgeous pictures will immediately take your attention, inspiring you to do even more with your garden. As a philosophical art book on gardening, it is a unique experience enjoyable for anyone who loves nature, even if they are new to gardening." -- Susan Bewley * Budget Earth * "What Makes A Garden is about the myriad elements to consider when creating a garden. The book is inclusive of so many disciplines and ideas, and so full of fascinating and useful factoids...Blom is hoping the book helps us expand our own minds regarding what belongs in a garden besides the obvious visual appeal of flowers, or the practical use of vegetables. She invites us into her world, where every detail is thoughtfully considered, and its history told" * Washington Gardener *
