"This book is most easily approached not as a text to be read from start to finish but as a work of reference, which provides an astonishingly encyclopaedic survey of the formal and horticultural characteristic of eighteenth-century English decorative planting design. Laird sets about his task with admirable clarity: the text is expertly and elegantly written....[O]ne of the great attractions of this book is that it is densely packed with information not easily found elsewhere."Laird, Mark is the author of 'Flowering of the Landscape Garden English Pleasure Grounds 1720-1800' with ISBN 9780812234572 and ISBN 081223457X.
