Customer Reviews

Outstanding, beautifully illustrated, core reference.

In Reflecting Nature: Garden Designs From Wild Landscapes, Jerome and Seth Malitz successfully collaborate to provide the reader with a detailed and informative examination of wilderness landscapes throughout North America, and how they provide professional and amateur gardeners with manifold ideas for their own gardening and landscaping activities. This superb book unveils seven sources of ideas for natural gardening: nature's architecture; tenacious alpine rock gardens and forests; wetlands, drylands, meadows and grasslands; water features; small groves with the look and feel of forests; small and diverse features which depth and character to the garden; and Japanese-style gardens representing centuries of nature gardening legacy. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Reflecting Nature is an outstanding, core title for any personal, professional, academic, or community library gardening and landscaping reference collections.
