Inhaltsangabe:
Presenting all the methods of formal plant shaping and introducing simple, fun, and fanciful techniques for creating informal indoor topiaries, Totally Topiary is clear, comprehensive, and written with an irrepressible passion for the art of making plants into living sculpture.
From hedge sculpture and espalier to indoor creations and an entire chapter on ivy, all major topiary styles both new and old are covered. Over 100 specific projects in the eight different styles are offered for a variety of skills and purposes, accompanied by handsome line drawings that serve as step-by-step models and elegant inspiration.
Each chapter is complete unto itself, recommending plants (Japanese yew is the hardiest for outdoor sculpture, but azalea can be coaxed into a startling pink flamingo), sharing design hints (espaliered fruit trees provide privacy from the neighbors with practical elegance), noting ideal times to plant. They also offer specifics on tools and hardware need, plus pruning and maintenance tips. A wealth of fascinating stories and charming anecdotes places each style in historical context, and helpful features list plant sources nationwide, along with topiary showcases worth visiting. 97,000 copies in print.

Zustand: Gut. 1st. Print. 20,5 x 20,5 cm. 318 S. Mit zahlr. Ill. von Kimble Pendelton Mead. Illustrierter Originalkarton (Softcover). Einband etwas bestoßen, Schnitt leicht angefleckt, Rücken etwas lichtgeblichen. Introduction by Rosemary Verey. Eine umfassende do-it yourself Anleitung, wie man Pflanzen in die unterschiedlihsten Formen ziehen kann. Diese höfische Kunst ist nicht nur Grundlage der formalen Erziehung der Pflanzen in die geometrischen Anlagen des klassischen Barockgartens, sondern in ihrer spielerischen, ja verspielten Ausprägung Ausdruck der subversiven Kurzweil und des kreativen Formenreichtums außerhalb der Sichtachsen.
