Review:
"The great problem with rules," writes Joe Eck, "is that once they are laid down people tend to obey them." In this slender book of essays about gardening, Eck's goal is less to provide diagrams and formulas about how to build a garden than to share with the more experienced gardener his philosophy of why garden in the first place and what it is that can make a garden so pleasing to the eye and the soul.
From the Back Cover:
Joe Eck's Elements of Garden Design is unprecedented in its treatment of the idea of a garden, showing how the envisioning of one as a conceptual whole can be translated into the solid forms of hedges and terraces, paths and rooms.
