Heritage Gardens : Care, Conservation and Management

Heritage gardens create huge management headaches. How does one preserve a garden designed for the enjoyment of the few when the advent of the many grinds it away to nothing? The answer, as presented in Heritage Gardens, is a subterfuge: preserve the illusion of the created environment as originally conceived, but adjust it using more durable materials: plants and designs which require less cultivation. Of all the problems facing the heritage industry today, the management of gardens and landscape environment create some of the greatest difficulties. This book provides some of the answers.Goulty, Sheena is the author of 'Heritage Gardens : Care, Conservation and Management', published 1992 under ISBN 9780415037136 and ISBN 0415037131.
