THE NEW TOPIARY is one of the most exciting books on plant sculpture ever produced. Sure to redefine the term "topiary," it is the first book to fully detail the techniques & materials used in this new field. Topiary is no longer confined to traditionally shaped hedges, but is extended to include quick-growing ivies & perennials. Cubes & cones, monsters, birds & whimsical animals, all dressed in living green, are equally attainable. The latest American adaptation to topiary - imaginatively stuffing designed frames with sphagnum moss in which ivy & creeping figs actually grow & thrive - is described in detail. Closely guarded secrets from Longwood Gardens (near Philadelphia) are revealed for the first time. Here are the secrets behind Longwood's exotic displays - from tiny animals to cascading chrysanthemums to self-watering life-size elephants. Years of practical development & research have gone into this book. The snags, pitfalls & the disappointments are eliminated by the confident, step-by-step instructions & ideas of an expert who is the foremost authority in this colorful modern approach to decoration with plants. Aided by 235 color illustrations & 385 drawings, the reader will quickly learn how to train these "living ornaments" into almost any shape imaginable.

This is a practical guide to the art of clipping, training and shaping plants. It offers fascinating insight into the art of topiary, with step-by-step instructions, spectacular photography and authoritative text. It shows how topiary can complement a range of garden styles and create design effects, such as defining an entranceway, marking a boundary or creating depth. Projects for beginners through to experienced gardeners show how to clip a spiral, create freehand figures, use topiary frames, train an arch, and tame a hedge. Jenny Hendy explains how topiary can be incorporated into garden styles, from traditional and contemporary to country-house and Japanese. A section on green architecture looks at larger topiary elements, including hedges, doorways and windows, and niches and alcoves. Achievable geometric shapes are also covered, from spheres and pyramids to turrets and helter-skelters. There are suggestions for more ambitious planting effects, such as knot gardens and parterres. Sculptural topiary is also explored, from the clipped creatures of cottage gardens to modern plant shaping. A plant directory then lists the best plants and the training to which they are suited.
