Her work has appeared in a number of pretigious publications and she has lectured widely in Britain and Japan. Jenny Hendy worked for one of Britain's leading gardening magazines before opting for a freelance career. Soon after, she became editor of the European Topiary Society's journal, Topiarius. An author, lecturer and TV guest presenter, Jenny's interest in garden design has developed into a thriving consultancy.
This sumptuous new book is packed with creative ideas for making a successful outside courtyard space. An introductory section gives practical advice on assessing a site, freshening up existing tired elements and basic planting techniques.
Successive chapters on specific styles each look at flooring, walls and screens, plants and containers, ornament and water features, and lighting.
Each chapter includes a case study with a detailed colour plan explaining the dynamics of the designed spaces, and how specific elements were achieved.
The plant directory then gives a comprehensive listing of planting options, each entry complete with propagation, growth patterns, and ideal conditions.
The final section on maintenance shows how to keep your courtyard looking its best, including deadheading, watering techniques and repainting fencing and trellis.
