Review: Great book - Very informative book. Lots of ideas for all garden types. Was very well received as a gift
Review: Confidence inspiring and all the info in one place - Amazing book. Having known nothing about garden design, and having been quoted 1600£ for a design, plus £300 pet sq metres for my small garden in South East London I thought stuff that, buy a book and learn some principles. Excellent info on types of garden, styles, materials and how-to do things, like lay a path or make a pond. Ok, it will not be winning Chelsea, but it has given me some confidence to tackle the job myself, with a landscaper to do the heavy lifting. Basically it's saved me £20k, so thumbs up five stars.
