Product Description

Review
"This fascinating paperback brings together images in kaleidoscopic juxtaposition, creating a sourcebook of inspiration and reference. A great collection of garden ideas that'll set you thinking."
--Amateur Gardening, 31st Jan 2009 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
Highly successful author and innovative designer Stafford Cliff has visited hundreds of gardens in the course of his travels over the last forty years all over the world, taking photographs and making notes. With his designer's eye and experience, he has created a revelatory work - a unique sourcebook of the very best ideas providing choices and inspiration for every single garden dilemma and possibility, from colour and planting to hard surfaces and features. For every new choice a gardener wishes to make, for every change they wish to introduce, there is a complete wealth of options - the plants, the path, the paving, the pots - they are all shown. From ornamental gates, to water features, sundials and beyond, myriad images are shown to fascinate, inspire and enthral the reader. The book is simply stunning, a veritable visual jigsaw delights the eye with the quirky set alongside the classic, the modern set against the traditional, and it is as practical as it inspiring, with a comprehensive directory of suppliers to help the reader realise their vision.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK but not what I hoped for, 13 Jan 2008
I thought this book would give photos of gardens, which would give me some inspiration and ideas as to what to put in my garden and how to lay it out.

However, what it seems to do is give close up pictures of individual items. That is, there are chapters with different headings, such as "Gates", "Pots" and "Chairs, Seats and Benches". The chapter on seating as an example, mostly just gives photos of different benches and seats, close up, so it can't be seen what setting they are in. I could get such pictures from a catalogue on garden seating and at least I would know where I could buy the seating in question, and the price, which the book does not disclose.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fantastic book!, 6 April 2009
By Amber Goudy (Argyll, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 1000 Garden Ideas (Paperback)
I love this book. Its not a book designed to give you ideas of how to lay out your garden or anything like that, it just gives you hundreds of examples of things which help you decide what you'd like.

I am a garden designer and I use this book all the time to give me inspiration of what sorts of things are available to put into the gardens I create. If I am a bit stuck about what style of gate to put in I just flick to the gate section and can look at hundreds of pictures of different types of gates to remind me of all the options. And there is a section for just about everything you could want in the garden. Its fantastic!

I couldn't praise it enough, this book is invaluble to me. (Just don't buy it if you're really looking for a book on how to design your garden, its not made for that).

1.0 out of 5 stars thumbnails gone mad, 15 Mar 2009
By Anne Wareham "Veddw" (UK Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 1000 Garden Ideas (Paperback)
Now here's a neat idea for garden lovers everywhere. Every time you visit a garden in future, take a few hundred snaps - it's so cheap with a digital camera, so don't stint. Take whatever catches your eye - a mushroom, the cat, hosepipe - whatever.

Then assemble all the pics into a book! They don't have to have much about them because you'll fill pages with the little beggars, all cheek to cheek and making a messy mass.

Then call it "1000 or 1001 somethings - petals? slugtraps? hose ends? to see before you sneeze." And wow, you've got a book! Dirt cheap, absolute rubbish, rather like "1000 Garden Ideas". Super. (oh, and you'll be able to count your garden visits against tax)
