The Natural Style In Landscape Gardening (1917)

The Natural Style in Landscape Gardening is a book written by Frank A. Waugh and first published in 1917. The book explores the concept of naturalistic landscape design, which was a departure from the formal, symmetrical gardens that were popular at the time. Waugh argues that a naturalistic approach to landscape design can create a more harmonious and pleasing environment that is in tune with the natural world. He discusses the principles of naturalistic design, including the use of irregular shapes and forms, the incorporation of natural elements such as rocks and water, and the importance of creating a sense of flow and movement.The book also includes practical advice on how to implement naturalistic design principles in a garden or landscape. Waugh provides detailed instructions on how to create different types of naturalistic features, such as waterfalls, rock gardens, and woodland gardens.Overall, The Natural Style in Landscape Gardening is a seminal work in the history of landscape design. It helped to popularize the naturalistic style and inspired many designers to create more organic and natural landscapes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
