Making Gardens Works of Art: Creating Your Own Personal Paradise

Making Gardens Works of Art: Creating Your Own Personal Paradise by Meadows, Keeyla. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781570613074.

Walking into Keeyla Meadows’ garden, you are struck by the sheer exuberance of plants and greeted by a riot of color that flows gracefully throughout the space. In this beautiful new book, an award-winning garden designer and artist shows how to turn a gardener into an artist and a garden into a work of art. Keeyla uses her own fanciful garden to illustrate key artistic concepts such as working with harmonies and contrasts in color selection, organization of shapes in space, and placement of garden features to transform the average garden into an artistic world. Budding garden artists everywhere will love the 120 full-color detailed photographs of the author’s garden, which has been featured in Sunset, Metropolitan Home, and Fine Gardening. Making Gardens Works of Art frees both the garden and the gardener -- and neither will be the same again.
