Book Overview

A Garden Miscellany: An Illustrated Guide to the Elements of the Garden by Suzanne Staubach presents an illustrated, alphabetical guide to garden elements. The book uses garden features as a way to look at how gardens are assembled, understood, and revisited through different styles.

In the introduction, Staubach describes gardens as collections of parts—paths, borders, beds, containers, pergolas, and plants—and explains that the book distills these components into an accessible guide. The contents list includes entries spanning structures, spaces, and garden features, followed by metric conversions, a select bibliography, and acknowledgments.

What You’ll Discover Inside
