Garden Design Ideas

摘要

In this translation of his book published in France in 2004, Mallet, who for over 20 years was in charge of Le Bois des Moutiers, one of the most beautiful gardens in France, writes about the art of garden design as the alignment of various factors to fulfill the designer's complex and individual vision. He discusses the workings of human perception and the way elements of line, scale, distance, form, and color can come together to evoke emotion, and he explains how varied shapes and nu-anced textures can make spaces seem larger and how specific color combinations, such as the placement of light-colored plants in front of darker ones, can create the appearance of depth.
