A delightful and nostalgic stroll around the gardens of the early 20th century, Gardens In The Making was originally published in 1914 as a guide to the principles of outdoor design. Renowned architect and landscape designer Walter H Godfrey offers his advice on every aspect of creating the perfect garden, from basic features such as gates, hedges, paving and seats to more elaborate terraces, arbours, orangeries and pergolas. Illustrated throughout with charming black and white drawings, Godfrey's words will be an inspiration to both readers interested in garden history and those with their own 'gardens in the making'.
