Architecture in the Garden
by James van Sweden
(Random House, 2003)

Landscape architect and author of Gardening with Nature and Gardening with Water, Van Sweden explains how he develops a garden design and suggests ways that readers can come to their own design decisions. An analysis of six different types of sites helps readers understand how to work with their own terrain elements. A "Gallery of Architectural Features" highlights paths, decks, edging, stone, fences and gates, walls and many more features.
