Brandywine Cottage is David Culp's beloved two-acre Pennsylvania
garden where he mastered the design technique of layering — interplanting many different species in the same area so that as
one plant passes its peak, another takes over. The result is a
nonstop parade of color that begins with a tapestry of heirloom
daffodils and hellebores in spring and ends with a jewel-like
blend of Asian wildflowers at the onset of winter.
The Layered Garden shows you how to recreate Culp's majestic
display. It starts with a basic lesson in layering — how to
choose the correct plants by understanding how they grow and
change throughout the seasons, how to design a layered garden,
and how to maintain it. To illustrate how layering works, Culp
takes you on a personal tour through each part of his celebrated
garden: the woodland garden, the perennial border, the kitchen
garden, the shrubbery, and the walled garden. The book
culminates with a chapter dedicated to signature plants for all
four seasons. |
