What style to give a garden and how best to lay it out are
perennial puzzles for creators of gardens. Gardener/designer Robert
Mallet shows how the basic elements of design line, scale,
distance, shape, color, and other sensory associations can open the
viewer s outlook toward broad perspectives or, conversely, can lock
us up in a cage. Reviewing all these elements, Mallet explains what
really works, offering a range of practical ideas that can be
adapted to visually enlarge space and liberate the mind. He
illustrates his ideas in 160 beautiful photographs and the skillful
drawings of architect Yves Poinsot. Mallet was for over twenty
years in charge of Le Bois des Moutiers, a park created by his
grandfather in Normandy, one of the most beautiful gardens in
France, where he was able to put his ideas to the test within the
context of a masterpiece of scenic design."
