Pages : 48

Book Description
This book is an illustration of the idea of "multilayer flower garden technique". A distinct feature that vitalizes this flower garden technique and makes it unique is its continuous, non-stop flourishing in every corner all season long - from April through October. As one group of plants stops blooming, it "passes the baton" to the next group of flowers located on the very same spot; this produces a spectacular non-stop blossoming effect for the entire season. The book presents six areas ("spots") of the small garden. A reader will see how each "spot" of the garden several times changes dramatically during the season, presenting a set of very distinct pictures. The secret is in applying the multilayer garden flower technique - while one "layer" of flowers is blooming, another one is already resting, the third one is just awakening and the fourth one is gaining strength. The resulting effects are dramatic; you can see how selected spots have changed in the course of one season.
