It begins with chapters featuring the various periods when pergolas and arbours have been key elements in the garden. It then looks at four of the very best pergolas found today. It also looks at the principles of design and the choice and care of suitable plants, before giving detailed drawings for six structures. The book seeks to be both fun and instructive.

Description: "Whether they are called pergolas, tunnel arbours or basket work bowers, plant covered structures, with their dappled light and summons to linger, always suggest pleasure. This book tells their story. It covers their history and how they have been used and enjoyed over the centuries. It also provides a practical handbook for today's gardener. Special photographs have been taken to show in detail the beauty of the structures and their plants in their gardens settings. The opening chapters feature those periods from Ancient Rome to modern Barcelona when pergolas have been key elements in the garden. Each is written with deep knowledge and insight by a specialist historian and their contributions are one of the major revelations to be found here. Beautiful photographs and historical images illustrate the historical progression from the Roman pergola, through medieval arbours to the grand tunnel arbours of the seventeenth century and then on into the great pergolas of the Arts and Crafts movement, finishing with some twentieth century re-interpretations. There follows Katherine Swift's highly informative and engaging tour exploring the delights of five of the finest pergolas to be discovered today at Hestercombe, The Hill, Bodnant, West Dean and Great Fosters. The descriptions take the reader back into history from Hestercombe's mighty sandstone columns to the pure romance of Great Fosters. Finally Paul Edwards expands on the principles of design and the choice of plants and then, using as examples structures he has himself designed and seen built (two for the National Trust) , he lucidly demonstrates the whole process for six different projects. These are a brick columned pergola, a timber pergola, a timber tunnel arbour, an iron tunnel arbour and arches, a lime tunnel arbour and a rustic yew and topiary arch." -- with a bonus offer-- .
