Review "Fans of garden design will want to give this a look"--Publishers Weekly"While this is presented in the form of a manual, it is clear that what is truly important is not rigorously following a series of instructions but gardening from the heart, using fundamental design principles to inform ones plan and working with the site and conditions rather than trying to force them into obedience. Stunning color photographs depict the featured gardens and highlight smaller details within them. Thoroughly indexed and with a list of plants that appear in the book, this is a useful resource as well as a source of plentiful inspiration for readers." --Booklist"A visually beautiful book to simply browse through one garden at a time […] impressively written, organized and presented. A source of inspiration, ideas, and practical instruction." --Midwest Book Review Promotional Tuttle Publishing Long Description Learn how to create a tranquil outdoor space at home with this practical and inspiring guide!
