Garden ornament

Jekyll, Gertrude · 1918 · 516 pictures

Garden ornament is a 1918 book by Gertrude Jekyll, a garden designer, drawn from photographs of gardens and their architectural features, probably for gardeners and garden owners. The four pictures show formal Italianate gardens with clipped hedges, stone balustrades, a sunken water channel, and arched loggias, rotated on the page; a designer might borrow their balanced axial layouts, stepped terraces, and the way hedges and stone edges frame a long walk.
