Ornament in the Small Garden Summary

Ornament in the Small Garden by Roy Strong

Ornamental features, whether purely decorative, like statues and urns, or practical as well, like containers, paving and seating - are the most immediate way of giving a small garden a distinctive character. Using ornament is easy even for novice gardeners who want to create an instant effect. Using a wealth of inspiring examples and clear guidelines, Roy Strong shows exactly how to choose from the whole range of ornament available - from traditional to contemporary, from extravagant to affordable - and explains where and how to place them in the garden to create the most telling and stylish effects.
