First published in 1940, 'The Book Of Garden Improvements' is a fantastic guide to gardening containing over 1,000 ideas and plans designed for novice gardeners. Written in simple, clear language and profusely illustrated, this beginner-friendly handbook is perfect for gardeners new and old, and it would make for a worthy addition to gardening collections. Contents include: 'Pergolas, Arches, and Arbours', 'Paths as an Aid to Garden Beauty', 'Edgings as an Ornament', 'Terraces and Steps', 'Rock Gardens and Rockeries', 'The Garden Pool', 'Ornamental Walls', 'The Value of Brickwork', 'Trellis, Gates and Fences', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on gardening.
