Product Description
In Art and the Gardener, Gordon Hayward's tenth book on garden design, he makes a radical departure from his earlier approaches in order to explore elements of visual language across two artistic disciplines-fine painting and garden design-in hopes that the remarkable crosscurrents will help reveal how to design or simply appreciate your garden with greater acuity.

A solid guide to the ephemeral moment November 14, 2008
Gordon Hayward has outdone himself, with this, his tenth book on garden design. A thoughtful selection of fine art reproductions are paired with vibrant photos of contemporary gardens. The images provide a strong visual complement to the informative and instructive text. Hayward looks to the artist's eye as a guide to the creation of garden designs that express harmony, contrast, mood and movement. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to deepen their appreciation for the beauty found within the frame of a painting or along the garden path.
