5.0 out of 5 stars Tropical Garden Design, 28 Jul 2004

By	Mr C M Birt (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tropical Garden Design (Paperback)

Whilst this book isn't aimed at people gardening in cool climates, it is truly mouth watering and inspirational. The text is light and refreshing with a few gems thrown in, however, it is the photos and other illustrations which make it worthwhile.

As long as you're not expecting a practical manual of some kind and accept it for what it is - a collection of pictures of the work of one of the most influential designers in that part of the world, you won't be disappointed.

Every time I glance through it, I see something new. My favourite book at the moment and thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tropical Garden Bible, 12 Mar 2007

By	Jay "The Amazon Reviewer" (Mauritius) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I live in a tropical island, Mauritius, and also own a large garden. I bought this book whilst on holiday in nearby Reunion island and was surprised into how I could transform my garden which seemed like a modern day dump. The innovative aspect of this book acts as a brilliant reference for people in the same situation as myself.
With chatty wit, the inexhaustible landscape designer Made Wijaya seemingly shares all his knowledge of tropical gardens. Wijaya (born Michael White in Australia) known for his intimate knowledge and appreciation of the Balinese culture, reveals a well-traveled, discerning eye for garden style in a wide area of the Asia-Pacific tropics. Richly illustrated with sketches and fine photography, this has the appearance of a coffee table book. Yet Wijaya's anecdotes and criticisms make for a good read. While the author does not get into the nitty-gritty gardener's how-to's, it is an indispensable reference book for anyone wanting to learn more about tropical landscaping.

To impart an understanding of the tropical vernacular, Wijaya brings out a variety of sources for illustration. One entire chapter is devoted to an historical overview of the tropical garden, and it is peppered with old prints and photographs. Throughout the book are paintings, colonial-era vignettes, and nicely drafted sketches. Also useful is Wijaya's list of (mostly) Asian gardens that can be visited for reference or pure enjoyment of the tropical garden. Although the author includes a list of plants that flower in the wet season, there is no other list of botanicals, which would greatly assist the reader seriously involved in garden design. Tropical Garden Design is a style book, and a very entertaining one, at that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!!, 27 May 2007

By	S. Adey (Cornwall, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tropical Garden Design (Paperback)

I received this book as a Christmas present last year. So far I find myself picking it up at least two or three times a week. In fact I've got it out again today. No sooner is this book back on the shelf and it's out again. This book is a truly inspirational must have for anyone who is interested in tropical gardening or who's just interested in the Tropics in general. Beautifully illustrated throughout, with both clear photo's and wonderful sketches, it offers many ideas for the gardener that they can recreate in their own gardens that will add an exotic feel anywhere in the UK. For those who aren't so green fingered, this is a great book to flick through - especially on rainy days - and just look at the pictures and wish you were there. If I could give this book more stars I would. It would be great to see some more books by this author, especially if the same standard would be offered.
