Product Description
This is a practical work book that goes from the basics of simple surveying, through the author's celebrated use of a design grid, to detailed styling and planting design. Topics covered also include the tools needed for designing a garden, construction details, how to design a larger garden, creating pools and other water features, and useful tips on how to research the original garden plan, as well as the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions people ask when designing part or all of their garden.

This book is nicely presented and a good coffee tale book but as I actually want to learn to be a designer I wouldn't have been impressed if I had paid more that the £5 that I did at Tesco, as there are many other books that do the job far more effectively.
Lots of nice pictures of his work and how he has approached jobs but that is about it.
