Full of workable and imaginative ideas about garden design, this book can be used as both a comprehensive reference guide and a constant source of inspiration.
The first section of the book provides an historical background to garden design before covering the basics, from assessing your site to working out a design brief for your own garden 'rooms'. The second section explores five different 'palettes' of garden design - wild, exotic, colour, sculpted and contemporary. Within each palette, five sample garden styles are covered in detail.
