Victorian garden
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Having a home built in 1845, my husband wants the landscaping to be "historically accurate." (But then he also wants me to dress as if it is 1845 but that is another story. He was born in the wrong century.) The book is filled with historical info (duh) and lots of garden ideas. My husband loves it. A thumbs up on this one!

This is an excellent starting point for the beginner. It builds a proper base in a very practical, hands on way. Favretti is a well-known expert in Southern historic garden circles. He's created historic landscapes himself and comes at his subject with a great deal of experience.
