Description

Natural stone,that most ancient of materials, adds an authentic touch to an out of doors space that nothing else can match. Even as plants may temporarily steal the show, a low stonewall, solitary standing stone or dry stream remains unwavering over time. Isamu Noguchi, the designer and artist, summed it up best, “Any gardener will tell you that it’s the rocks that make a garden. They call them the’bones’ of the garden.”

In The Spirit of Stone, award-winning landscape designer Jan Johnsen presents a richly photographed guide to the many creative ways that durable stone and gravel can be utilized in a garden. The chapters address rock gardens, walls, stone accents,walks and more. There’s a chapter on sustainable stone that shows easy methods to capitalize on stone’s functional qualities in a beautiful way. And a last chapter highlights plants and stones together, natural companions in a garden.

The Spirit of Stone is an very important idea book for any person taking a look to add dimension and resilience to their landscape – the tips and photos will inspire designers, homeowners, gardeners,and stonemasons alike.
