Stone In The Garden: Inspiring Designs And Practical ProjectsW. W. Norton & Company, 2001-06-05 - 224 psl. How to use stone—in walls, walkways, terraces, and more—to create beautiful, lasting gardens. Stone furnishes the framework, the structure, and the sense of permanence that transforms gardens. Whether in the form of retaining walls or benches, terraces or walkways, as bold standing stones or as boulders at the edge of a small stream or pond, stone lends a garden focus, providing the perfect foil to plants. |
