Book Description: In recent years a new generation of artists and designers has discovered that garden plants - from moss and grass to fullgrown trees - can become astonishing works of living sculpture. Iconoclast garden designer Paul Cooper has gathered together the best examples of this exciting new art form while overturning many preconceptions about what is possible in the context of both gardening and art, showing that every garden has the potential to include dramatic and lasting sculpture.
Amazing! Incredible! Awe inspiring!: The incredible living scuptures in this book range from enormous to small, from one-of-a-kind to I-could-do-that. Giant moss covered stone sculptures lying on the forest floor were wonderful but the best part of the book is page 82 - the sod furniture. The book says sod furniture (for outdoors, obviously) has been used since the 13th century. I can't wait to try my own. This is an amazing book that any gardener or artist would love.
