Essai sur la composition et l'ornement des jardins, ou, Recueil de plans de jardins de ville et de campagne, de fabriques propres à leur décoration, et de machines pour éléver les eaux : ouvrage faisant suite à l'Almanach du bon jardinier
A French garden-design treatise published in Paris by Audot in 1818, attributed to Guiol and continuing the Almanach du bon jardinier for gardeners and garden owners. Its plates show a naturalistic garden plan with winding paths and clumped trees, a machine-room section for raising water, and a kiosk elevation with plan, which a designer might take from for organic path layouts, tree-mass planting diagrams, and clean architectural garden follies.
