Very interesting. Lots of practical information about designing and growing a garden... I thought I'll find more about companion planting in it but found almost nothing regards that (and that was the info I was looking for due to size of my garden space and possibilities of using the space in full potential).

It is an awesome book if you are into all things garden. The book goes into great detail. However as I am not a native English speaker, I sometimes found it harder to get through the material. I bought this with the intention of learning more about growing plants etc. But a great portion of the book goes into full detail about designing and developing a beautiful garden or balcony regardless how much space you have. Overall I would recommend this book to people who just want to learn more about gardening and creating their style for their garden. Great book :) very happy to have it in my collection and re-read some pages every year or whenever I buy a new plant
