 The gospel according to Church January 8, 2001
16 out of 20 found this review helpful
The timeless classic by the late great Thomas D. Church (1902-1978). It is part monograph, part manual, in the best American tradition. Gardens, indeed, are for people, and although one might associate this statement with public work, Church was largely associated with domestic design.He reinvented the small swimming pool, made decking a trademark of affordable luxury, and, thank heavens, reduced the amount of intended maintenance in the private garden... However, church did more than meets the eye: he appropriated each project, without social discrimination. Church was a great technician and a relentless practitioner - thus fulfilling his quest for domestic comfort for all.
