Abstract: This book adopts an original approach by bringing together a broad range of garden related objects, some already acknowledged and enjoyed, others only now beginning to be appreciated and collected. With 142 colour and over 500 black and white illustrations, it is intended as a visual guide which will enable the reader to examine and select pieces from a variety of styles and materials and to discover the purpose of objects long forgotten. Alistair Morris has wisely.
