Down the Garden Path: A Guide to Researching the History of a Garden or Landscape

€ 8,90

I have just published a revised version of my Down the Garden Path: A Guide to Researching the History of a Garden or Landscape. The manual is designed to help you document a landscape. Documentation is the first step to preserve, conserve or restore a landscape – whether it is a private garden, city park, industrial complex, cemetery, historic house and grounds, etc. The guide contains descriptions of the major useful sources (such as maps, photographs, diaries, etc.); how to do library, archival and web research; how to do oral history interviews; and includes samples of the forms most often used when compiling a history of a site.
