This book serves as a wonderful and much needed expansion to Brooke's garden design book. In this volume he details more of the ingredents that make a good design not only on paper, but also as a finished project. Mr Brookes shares with us what makes his designs work, he juggles and balances the two main aspects of design, hard and soft landscaping, which are so notoriously difficult to balance (we all seem bias to one or the other). Whatever your taste in gardens is, there's something for everyone, experienced or just a beginner.
