A Pattern Garden: The Essential Elements of Garden Making

By Valerie Easton
A Pattern Garden gives us the tools for creating our own highly satisfying garden spaces. Easton identifies 14 garden patterns that she sees as fundamental to successful design and that will turn any landscape into a memorable and rewarding retreat. This book will help you identify what pleases you, and why, and provide inspiration and direction in the planting and layout of your own garden. Discussions of essential patterns, such as the creation of paths or the incorporation of water into the garden, are complemented by concrete advice about plant selection.
Valerie Easton regularly contributes articles to numerous publications, including Gardens Illustrated, Country Gardens, Fine Gardening, Garden Compass, and Horticulture. The author of Plant Life and co-author of Artists in Their Gardens, she's been a weekly garden columnist for the Seattle Times since 1997, where she also regularly contributes articles about garden design and architecture. She lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and on Whidby Island.
