Preface MICHAEL LAURIE Selected Bibliography MICHAEL LAURIE Foreword GRACE HALL Design 1 Introduction Discussion of historical precedent and the current attitude toward gardens. 2 The Site Affects Design Organization of the garden related to the characteristics of the site, its topography and soil, orientation and views, existing features and trees adjoining the property, and climatic conditions. 3 Design Principles Involving the principles affine art, unity, function, simplicity, and scale. Family needs, specific tastes and interests, upkeep. 4 Garden Architecture The house, entrance and other structures, pergola, pool house, steps, gazebo, etc. must interrelate with the design of the garden in terms of materials and forms. 5 The Palette Gardens are composed of a variety of materials and components. In this chapter these are illustrated as a vocabulary of design, including paving, pattern, plant materials, shadow, sculpture and water. 6 Swimming in the Garden A Garden Tour 7 Town and Country Gardens An informal walk through the gardens showing how some of the initial problems were solved, and how the application of good design principles produced the desired effect. 8 The Author's Garden Index
Synopsis
This classic of landscape architecture has been required reading for the residential garden design professional, student, and generalist since its publication in 1955.Gardens Are for Peoplecontains the essence of Thomas Church's design philosophy and much practical advice. Amply illustrated by site plans and photographs of some of the 2,000 gardens Church designed during the course of his career, the third edition has a new Preface as well as a selected bibliography of writings by and about Church. Called "the last great traditional designer and the first great modern designer," Church was one of the central figures in the development of the modern California garden. For the first time, West Coast designers based their work not on imitation of East Coast traditions, but on climatic, landscape, and lifestyle characteristics unique to California and the West. Church viewed the garden as a logical extension of the house, with one extending naturally into the other. His plans reflect the personality and practical needs of the homeowner, as well as a pragmatic response to the logistical demands of the site., This classic of landscape architecture has been required reading for the residential garden design professional, student, and generalist since its publication in 1955.

    My book arrived in good condition. Packaging was a rigid cardboard mailer, and it protected my book well. It was shipped in a reasonable amount of time, but I was still prompted to reach out to inquire further about it. Seller communication was very good, answering me within 24-hours. I was told shipping can take 9-15 days to happen... it arrived within 10 days after purchase. I would purchase from this seller again. Two thumbs up!

    Book arrived as described, packed inside a cardboard envelope which I like because it protects the corners from damage in transit. Great price and arrived ahead of the estimated delivery date. I value book sellers who package this way to ensure the books arrive safely, will bookmark you guys for future book purchases.
