Garden Style by Selina Lake

Selina begins by describing her sources of garden inspiration—famous gardens, specialist nurseries and garden centers, plant catalogs, and old botanical prints. Armed with ideas, she moves on to Chapter Two, Decorating your Garden, which is packed with suggestions for container gardening, using recycled elements, styling truly tiny spaces (including balconies and window boxes), sourcing and displaying vintage gardenalia, and introducing garden features such as bird baths and dovecotes. In the next chapter, Bringing the Outside In, she harvests blooms and foliage from the garden to provide seasonal adornment for her home.

Selina Lake is a successful freelance stylist, author and columnist.

Her work can be seen in publications including Country Living, Homes & Antiques and Country Homes & Interiors.
