Booklist Review
The notion of creating a "sanctuary" is a popular topic, turning up frequently in the recent crop of gardening literature. Anderton's approach to the concept allows for a down-to-earth yet inspiring presentation of alternatives ranging from cutting-edge designs of cool contemporary plots to family-oriented backyards and container gardens that make maximum use of minimum space. A treasury of photographs wraps around the descriptive, instructional text, with Anderton addressing issues of light and soil, shape of the site, and scale. The broad scope encompasses all categories of stylistic considerations, with the aim of directing the reader to a design path best suited to one's fundamental predilections. A prominent personality in the world of English gardening, Anderton looks at special problems and overall schemes in a manner that should appeal to gardeners of all levels. --Alice Joyce
