Jenny Hendy explains how topiary can be incorporated into garden
styles, from traditional and contemporary to country-house and
Japanese. A section on green architecture looks at larger topiary
elements, including hedges, doorways and windows, and niches and
alcoves. Achievable geometric shapes are also covered, from spheres
and pyramids to turrets and helter-skelters. There are suggestions
for more ambitious planting effects, such as knot gardens and
parterres. Sculptural topiary is also explored, from the clipped
creatures of cottage gardens to modern plant shaping. A plant
directory then lists the best plants and the training to which they
are suited. This fascinating insight into the art of topiary
includes step-by-step instructions, spectacular photography and
authoritative text. It shows how topiary can complement a range of
garden styles and create design effects, such as defining an
entranceway, marking a boundary or creating depth, and features
projects for beginners through to experienced gardeners that show
how to clip a spiral, create freehand figures, use topiary frames,
train an arch, and tame a hedge.
