Publisher's description:
Medieval artists' illustrations of gardens, garden structures and bedding patterns with birds, animals, plants and people.

From the back cover:
Medieval gardens traditionally used intricate geometric patterns for formal parterres, beds, paths and garden structures, usualli within magnificent walled gardens. These designs can serve as inspiration for gardeners, certainly, but also for craftspeople and designers of quilts, wallpaper, woodblocks, stencils and other decorative applications. The designs are completely authentic, as are all of those in the International Design Library series, described on the inside back cover.
