Lighting Gardens Summary

Lighting Gardens by Michele Osborne

Lighting brings the finishing touch to any garden or landscape. It introduces magic and illusion by enhancing some spaces while leaving others shrouded in mystery. This innovative book reveals the very best and most up-to-date lighting effects as they have been used in contemporary gardens throughout the world. Divided into thematic chapters looking at the different uses and effects of light, the book covers a whole range of lighting styles from simple lanterns and fairy lights to fibreoptics and LEDs, used for garden rooms, patlos, pool areas, decking, pathways, roof gardens, and architectural features and plants. Practical advice is also given on choosing lighting, hardware, planning, and safety.
