Excerpt from Garden Planning
There are several justifications for the appearance of a book on Garden Planning. One is the meagre treatment the subject has heretofore received as compared with the more mechanical phases of garden making - planting, cultivating, etc. Another is the vital, though often unappreciated, importance of the subject, especially in this day of countryward, outdoorward tendencies. The significance of the cash valuation of the work of the landscape architect when contrasted with that of the gardener is not often grasped.
This volume, however, is designed for those who are not inclined to make use of the services of a professional garden designer. Either excessive cost or intense personal interest in the development of the home grounds may effect this result. In either case he who plans his own garden will do well to familiarize himself with the principles, methods, and probable results as set forth herein.
