Classic Garden Design by Rosemary Verey

Classic Garden Design by Rosemary Verey

This book came out in 1989, and the subtitle is How to Adapt and Recreate Garden Features of the Past.

Rosemary Verey’s book Classic Garden Design (1984) shows how much she learned from various past gardens, with their topiary, knot gardens, and box-edged beds.

All are incorporated in her Barnsley garden, providing a formal structure softened by roses and herbaceous perennials, which adds interest even in the wintertime.

Of course, one can't forget that Rosemary Verey introduced and popularized the potager.
