Format:Hardcover
As a relatively new garden designer, I have found this publication extremely helpful. It shows a wide range of professional designers' work and covers an interesting spectrum of contexts, such as themed and country gardens with photographs to show how plans have been realised. I also found it very useful to see a wide range of drawing/ graphic styles, the most unusual of which was a three dimensional combination of drawing combined with cut-up photographs. Superficially this could be describes as a coffee table book, but it is one that I've gone back to endless times when searching for some inspiration. A new publication by the same people is out now and looks specifically at plans for small gardens. It is of similar high quality and would be useful to both trainee and working designers.

If I had picked this up and thumbed through it in a shop, I would not have bought it. I would have liked a lot more photographs of the actual gardens. The technical drawings were probably brilliant but way over my head. Sorry!
