Lifelong Landscape Design
“A holistic approach to enhancing health and longevity through the creation of outdoor spaces.” —Mary Palmer Dargan, ASLA
Lifelong landscape design means thinking about more than your garden. It involves encouraging your community to be a well-rooted environment consisting of friends who share home-grown produce, walk in the neighborhood, recycle, water harvest, compost and are watchful of each other’s well-being.
Lifelong landscape designs create environments that connect with nature, encompass a home, and promote healthy living by providing mobility, social interaction, and places to sustain the body and soul. Learn easy steps to design your own lifelong landscape through more than 200 landscape patterns and activities that illustrate components of healthy living. Enhance the quality of your life at any stage with practical advice from this inspirational landscape architect with more than 30 years experience.
Mary Palmer Dargan is a nationally known principal in the Atlanta-based firm of Dargan Landscape Architects. Her projects have been published in many national publications and on Home and Garden Television (HGTV). She is a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects

Timeless Landscape DesignA well designed garden takes more than plants and flowers to consider it eye-catching. Hugh and Mary Palmer Dargan, ASLAs explore the depth of visual art in landscape design in their new book Timeless Landscape Design: The Four-Part Master Plan (Gibbs Smith, Publisher, $29.95, Hardcover, January). According to the outdoor design duo, the map to creating flawless landscapes lies in the unique four-part master plan and the skillful application of the art elements: line, color, form, and texture, as well as broader design principles such as proportion, scale, and focalization. Combined, these techniques are the groundwork for defining “timeless landscapes” — those that please the eye, nourish the soul and make living easier.

The Early English Kitchen GardenMYSTERIES UNFOLD AS THE BIRTH AND EVOLUTION of the English kitchen garden from 1580-1800 is traced with emphasis on the effects of geometric and picturesque landscape movements. This book, Mary Palmer Dargan’s Masters thesis, specifically addresses the origins of the kitchen garden, records changes in its structure and function and explains why these changes occurred.
Social attitudes toward the kitchen garden changed as the landscape movements influenced the way people perceived their relationship to their environment. This resulted in the alteration of its physical structure which consists of five elements: method of enclosure, layout of beds, external form, location and relationship to the rest of the property. This thesis evaluates the medieval hortus as the forerunner of the kitchen garden and the effects of the geometric and picturesque landscape movement s effects on this, the first garden of mankind.
Primary research was conducted at Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, D.C. and focused on the period English garden texts in the rare book collection. Of value to persons interested in gardens and garden history, this study is of particular use to those in the fields of landscape architecture, historic preservation, history, horticulture and geography. Because it traces the origins and evolution of the kitchen garden during a particular time in history, more research is needed to complete the evolutionary picture of the kitchen garden.
