Abbott, Marylyn

Gardening & Landscape Design

KYLE CATHIE LTD.

Throughout her gardening life, Marylyn Abbott has created, designed, and re-designed. With a painterly eye, she has re-imagined everything from herbaceous borders to classic potagers, filling beds with a single rich jewel-like color or sprinkling a vegetable garden with rainbow-hued tulips. Although her creations have often been likened to theater, their designs are firmly rooted in historic precedent and classical symmetry. Now, Abbott shares her thoughts on garden design, complementing practical advice with breathtaking photographs of her own gardens and those of others. Without forgetting the constraints of space, sunlight, soil, and climate, Abbott encourages gardeners to fulfill their horticultural fantasies. Whether as a treasure trove of some of the world's great gardens, a history of design, or a source of inspiration, no lover of gardens should be without this essential work. Marylyn Abbott's previous books include Gardening with Light and Color.

Arts & Photography

Encouraging gardeners to reassess their favorite flowers and how they are planted, the focus here is on working with natural light to get the best out of any garden. Readers are led through the color spectrum and given advice on which plants to choose and how to handle them in northern and southern hemisphere gardens, all backed by stunning photography. More than another gardening book, this personal odyssey includes Marylyn Abbott's observations over a lifetime of gardening, stretching from the dry heat of Australia to the colder wetter climates of England. Her inspirational ideas are mingled with down-to-earth advice and hands-on experience in this essential read for gardeners looking for new ideas and interesting plant combinations to add drama, light, and color.
