Reviews

[Susan]

I hated to finish this book. I have been enjoying it, reading just a little a time so I can think about the ideas and examples on each page. This book is so helpful and eye-opening to me. It gives new ways to think about garden design, and also about 'what is a garden?' For me, I've been gardening for many a year, and my ideas about what I want my garden to be are changing. I have been influenced and cheered up by this book. I might just keep it in the background and read through it slowly again.

Each page is devoted to a gardening issue, such as what to do with a large front yard, or what to do if you don't like flowers. There are solutions proposed, with photographs, although I'm not terribly fond of the aesthetic of many of the gardens featured. Quite a few are British, although there are some sections about gardening in deserts.

Brief but helpful advice for a range of garden situations.
