Description
Why do some gardens make us feel so wonderful, relaxed and refreshed? Landscape designer, Jan Johnsen, shares her passion for creating serene, contemplative gardens and offers advice that will open your eyes to a new way of making outdoor havens. ‘Heaven is a Garden’ draws on her 45 years of experience and explores ideas such as why a gate facing East is considered auspicious, why a golden rectangle is the preferred terrace layout and which trees can impart a special atmosphere.
