Natural style for gardens, 1998:p. 6 (The natural garden acknowledges the individuality of the garden terrain and the character and period of the house, working with nature to create an orderly exuberance of plants and texture. Focus is placed on associations of wild species that are easy to grow and garden cultivars that naturalize readily. Gardening in a natural style is a refinement of the skills of using plants that are well suited to the local conditions)

Plants are chosen with an entire year, or years, in mind ... Your garden is the product of a close collaboration between you and nature, in which what you want from the garden is met by the character of your particular location.) p. 13 (natural gardens, Natural Garden style)

found: Jefferson-Brown, M.J. Creating a natural garden, 1991:p. 6 ("The Natural Garden' may be thought a contradiction in terms. A garden is obviously unnatural, and nature would soon transform it if the gardener was not around to monitor its 'naturalness.' The word 'natural' in the title of this book is taken to have two meanings. The first is the design idea of the garden as a community of plants which, by their casual association, lend emphasis to each other's character. This is the opposite of the rigidly formal garden where plants are marshalled in rows and blocks, and the hand of the gardener is evident in the position of almost every leaf and petal. The second sense ... applies to the practical management of the garden. Here the suggestion is that plants should be chosen for their ability to manage their own affairs, that they are left alone, and that the gardener's role is merely to accentuate the best of the natural features of the garden and the ways of nature.)
