A Glossary of Garden History, 2006, 144 p., ill. -
What, if any, are the differences between a belvedere, a gazebo, a pavilion and a summerhouse? How does one distinguish between an allée and an alley, and when does an allée become an avenue? What particular characteristics mark an Islamic garden or a Japanese one? What are a gazon coupé, a millarium and a crinkle-crankle wall? This alphabetical glossary explains and illustrates such terms so that readers of garden literature and visitors to gardens may appreciate more fully what they are reading about or seeing. A final chapter outlines the work of leading British garden designers from J. Evelyn to Sir G. Jellicoe.
