Phebe Humphreys' 1914 work covers all aspects of garden architecture, including water features, paving, pergolas, birdhouses, tree houses, and tennis courts.

Charles Thonger's 1903 volume is a thorough source of information on garden structures.

This is a book that should appeal equally to serious gardeners interested in the specifics of varieties and cultivars that thrive in coastal zones and garden designers who want to learn more about what lives best where. For Smith is wise in not writing merely about the plants, shrubs, and trees and their cultivation; this is a book as much about mood - about how to design and visualize a small garden - as it is about what varieties and cultivars to buy. Eclectic in its approach, incorporating quotations and citations from Eastern as well as Western sources, she challenges with the eye of an artist, but also with the down-and-dirty exerience of someone wrestling with a small space, limited sunshine, the usual encroachments of blight, bugs, beasts, and the particular New England challenges of a relatively brief growing season and mediocre soil.

Renommierte und international bekannte Garten- und Architekturtheoretiker, Kunsthistoriker, Kulturvermittler und Publizisten nähern sich dem Phänomen Wörlitz. Diese Annäherungen gehen von Entwicklungen des 18. Jahrhunderts aus, in die sie das Gartenreich des Fürsten Franz als exponiertes europäisches Beispiel einordnen. Die neuen Vorstellungen von Architektur und Landschaftsgestaltung in der Epoche der Aufklärung wurden im kleinen Musterstaat vorbildlich und exemplarisch umgesetzt. Indem sie die historischen Hintergründe analysieren, eröffnen die Autoren neue Perspektiven der Wahrnehmung eines Weltkulturerbes. Dem Ansatz, mit geschärftem Blick vom Kleinen auf die Gesamtkomposition zu schließen, entsprechen die Fotografien dieses Bandes. Das Buch ist keine nüchterne wissenschaftliche Abhandlung, sondern überzeugt vielmehr mit unverhofften Geistesblitzen. Ein Band für Ästheten, eine außergewöhnliche Hommage: faszinierend, instruktiv und bildmächtig. Mit Essays von Bazon Brock, Adrian von Buttlar, Hans-Dieter Gelfert, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Michael Stürmer und Thomas Weiß

Paul Klingenberg was the trusted confidant of King Frederik III of Denmark, whom he served both as Postmaster general and by laying out the maze in the royal garden at Rosenborg.He had begun his working career with a trading company in Hamburg, where he was to become the driving force. He married the granddaughter of the founder, Elisabeth Berns, whose grandfather, father, and uncles and the Marselis family all had outstanding gardens, and it was in this circle that Paul Klingenberg’s love of gardening developed.In 1639 he began to keep a day-book of work undertaken in his garden at Hanerau in Holstein. Writing in German, he entered details of the plants and seeds he purchased, the names of the suppliers and the prices paid, the dates of planting and sowing, the weather conditions and the subsequent successes and failures.There are impressive lists of varieties, particularly of tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, anemones, ranunculuses, apples, pears, and melons. Fruit trees were his main interest (he was commissioned to buy fruit trees for King Frederik III and Queen Charlotte Amalie), and he recorded his tasting notes of many varieties.After his death in 1690 his son, also Paul Klingenberg, a distinguished lawyer, continued to add to the day-book at his residence Højriis in Jutland. He was principally interested in ornamental plants, particularly the newly imported exotics, and to assist in their cultivation he installed a hothouse of the very latest design.For some years after the death of Paul Klingenberg the younger the day-book was in a private collection in Denmark, but by 1765 it had disappeared, and its whereabouts remained unknown until Dr. Annie Christensen found it in the Danish Public Record Office. Realizing its great importance as a source of garden history, she transcribed it, translated it into Danish and wrote introductory chapters and a commentary on the text.Quotations from “The Garden Day Book of Sir Thomas Hanmer” (written in 1659) and previously unpublished contemporary plant drawings from Danish sources have been used to complement the material in the day-book and help to give the reader a more complete picture of gardening in the seventeenth century.The book contains 292 pages with 30 beautiful colour plates from the Gottorfer Codex, The Royal Collection of Engravings, and approx. 20 black and white drawings, maps and garden plans.
