Customer Reviews
This is a book for someone who is serious about wanting to do a 'proper job' in designing their garden, irrespective of what size it is. It's not for someone who is only interested in a quick 'make-over'. And, the book has been structured from this point of view, ie, for the person wanting to start from scratch or wishing to alter their existing garden.
This beautiful book is excellent value for money and a true source of inspiration.
There are many far better books around than this (and a lot cheaper - but then it does have RHS in the title!) and my advice is to steer well clear.
The first section will proceed to tell you a lot of stuff that you already know, like what walls can be made of, and will then proceed to give you ideas for garden features that are either too grand or too expensive for the average man in the street.
This book has been done a lot better elsewhere, check out The Ultimate Garden Designer or 20 Best Small Gardens if like me you're looking for practical inspiration for a small or medium sized garden. It's a shame the Royal Horticultural Society couldn't have done better, normally their publications are top-notch and can be relied upon.
