A garden designer quickly appreciates..

The essential sourcebook for creating your own dream garden. From planning to planting, a comprehensive guide to creating attractive landscapes and flourishing gardens.

From Library Journal
Using over 500 color photos and illustrations of garden design elements, Williams successfully presents a plan for devising a home landscape that harmoniously incorporates these elements into a beautiful garden. His credentials as a British landscape expert and chair of the Society of Landscape Designers in England are evident in this style sourcebook, which is filled with excellent landscape ideas and design examples. Williams covers how to plan a garden, which begins with establishing individual priorities and analyzing the property to be landscaped. He includes horizontal surfaces (everything that covers the ground); vertical elements (e.g., plants, walls, fences); garden furnishings (e.g., plants, pots, statues, furniture); and sample plans for types of gardens (e.g., water gardens, city gardens, wildlife gardens). Valuable for the many examples of garden elements that go into the making of an attractive outdoor space, this book offers readers the opportunity to explore options for a successful home landscape. Recommended for gardening and landscaping collections.
