Whether you want a complete new look for your garden, or just a few changes, 'Garden Design Made Easy' takes you through the whole design process in a simple, easy-to-follow way, avoiding complex diagrams and confusing jargon.
The book starts from first principles with advice on striking the right balance between what you want and what you need. This is followed by advice on assessing your site - its soil type, aspect and climate - and preparing a budget. Next, it shows how to create a design that will meet your requirements.
Starting with basic themes such as colour and shape, 'Garden Design Made Easy' shows how to build up the design by introducing the features of your choice - from herb gardens to pergolas - adding the details and, finally, describing how to plant your garden. There is also a "problem solver" checklist that offers solutions for gardeners who have difficult sites, and a selection of off-the-peg designs and planting plans for all shapes of garden.
