4.0 out of 5 stars Many specific plans; other info less good., 15 Jan 2003
I'd give this 3 and a half stars.

There are many very specific plans (eg Japanese, for the disabled, wildlife). These also give plant lists, which some other books don't, and the plans are useful and attractive. I don't like the fact that it's arranged according to purpose rather than plot size & shape, but loads of different plots are covered within each section. My preference is influenced by having a long garden whish is my biggest concern.

I find the 2nd section, on specific features such as containers, too basic - you may well have better information elswhere.

I prefer Robin Williams' book, The Garden Planner, but it doesn't give anywhere near as many suggestions of plants, so if you're really into this subject it would be worth getting both. (The reason I prefer the other one is that it has better information on how to survey your garden at the start; nice photographs; and a layout that suits my needs.) But I'm glad I got both!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best garden design book yet seen!, 25 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I have many books on garden design, and borrowed more from the library. Tim Newbury's book is easy to read, full of ideas, with planting schemes, and alternative layouts to suit gardens of varying shapes.

He covers cottage gardens, kitchen gardens, gardens for entertaining, family gardens, gardens for the disabled, the plant enthusiasts' garden, water gardens, japanese-style gardens, formal gardens, coastal gardens, wildlife gardens, woodland gardens, front gardens and roof gardens. He covers every aspect of gardens, including specific ideas for garden features, pools, streams and water features, rock gardens, pergolas and arches, summerhouses, gazebos etc, patios and paving, steps, slopes, walls, fences, trellises, screens, beds and borders, herb gardens pots and containers. All this plus a plant directory.

His schemes are realistic for today's gardeners and will give anyone wanting help to plan their garden a whole host of inspirations, be it a corner you want to reorganise - to a whole garden layout. I heartily recommend this book - A must for gardeners' bookshelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best reference guides around., 10 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Along with a few other landscaping/design books this is a must-have. If planning from scratch the variety of ideas and layouts provide the framework for good and exciting garden design. Broken down into themes, the attention to detail, diagrams and representations are excellent. Whether you want to replicate the ideas or use them as guides to develop your own schemes you won't be disappointed.

Including the use of plant, trees, landscaping materials, layouts and water features it is excellent value.
