This book is absolutely perfect for those looking to design a garden from a perspective other than "pretty colors go well with pretty colors!"

I'm not positive, but I would bet that this is often used as a textbook - either for landscape architects or other horticultural practices. It's a really fabulous book that teaches you so much about WHY to lay a garden out a certain way, and have it work complimentary to your home. Loads of information about the more technical aspects of garden design.

The biggest pro is that the content is entirely approachable. I know almost nothing about landscape architecture or garden design, but nothing in this book was over my head or too difficult to understand. Absolutely a must have item for any serious gardener.

Just starting my journey of landscape design. I found this book to be a wonderful resource. It's (to my untrained eye) very thorough and complete. I like that it's a soft cover and I can keep it handy at poolside and it bends nicely in my backpack. Lots of information, cute little pen and ink drawings. So easy to follow and I think well organized as it leads you from one aspect into another naturally.

Budar
Good overview of garden design. Written largely from a British perspective but the principles are broadly applicable.

Fhois
Very good basic understanding of how to organize and layout your design so if you want to show it a professional nursery, it is very understandable.

SoSok
Just what I wanted. Great item. Welcome the availability

Xlisiahal
Very interesting. Lots of ideas for a person that approach the garden design for the fist time. I like it, but unfortunately I am an electronic engineer and I like very structured methods! Don't get me wrong: It is not complicated to undestand, very well written.

Gelgen
This is a very detailed, very technical book on planning every conceivable aspect of garden design. From fences to pergolas to hedges to ponds, it's all in here. Normally I love detailed books but this was actually a bit more technical than I had hoped for. It's almost like a textbook for professionals (which certainly isn't a bad thing).

We are in the process of designing a garden and this is the most helpful book we've found. The only drawback is that the author is from England and our garden is in South Carolina where the plants that will do well are very different.
