Renowned garden designer Gordon Hayward's newest book focuses on one major principle: creating frontyard gardens that will inspire and invite, transforming neighborhoods and encouraging people to create compelling spaces in which to relax, visit with neighbors, and enjoy a natural space. A front garden should welcome, enliven, enrich, and engage. Traditional "foundation planting"that clich that means glomming a few evergreen shrubs against the front foundation of the house and then running lawn from it down to the sidewalk or streetis a thing of the past. Hayward offers a stepbystep approach that starts by helping people find their "Big Idea," then guides the homeowner through the process of making all the smaller decisions. He also introduces fundamental gardendesign principles, illustrated throughout the book with beautiful photography and line drawings, allowing homeowners to effectively apply the ideas no matter where or what type of climate they live.Feast on these lush photos with an open mind, you'll come away with an endless supply of ideas.Chapters include:How to Look at Garden ImagesThe Driveway, Cars and the Front GardenThe Path to the Front DoorA Lot of Lawn, A Little Lawn?Gardens Between House and SidewalkFencing, Walls and GatesSitting Areas in the Front GardenGordon Hayward holds degrees from Wesleyan University and began gardening in the 1970s.
