My "bible" - the best book on garden design I have bought so far, as recommended by the tutor on my College garden design course. Well explained theory, beautiful photographs, and one you would not feel ashamed to leave lying around on your coffee table!

Brilliant at the planning stage for those looking to clarify their ideas. Comprehensive, well laid out book, easy to use. Lots of really effective colourful photographs, illustrating options and possibilities. A must have, whatever the size of your project, but especially useful for those looking to maximise value from small feature areas and courtyards.
