 Rating:  - not knownI'm trying to find a book on how to create a sloping embankment in which it is higher than our house .... Rating:  - Easy garden designThis book combined photographs and drawings of gardens, so that anyone wanting to try their hand at design or who have experience of design can use the ideas and implement them in their gardens. I liked the examples of 'long narrow garden' or 'the family garden', which gave colourful drawings of ways to transform and accentuate certain features. It also showed how to draw a garden design, analysing a garden for soil, direction and existing features, etc. At the back of the book are listings of plants that like to grow in certain areas and soil types, etc, which is handy for a quick guide to what will grow in your own garden. I liked this book, and have used it to show my friends how to plan their garden. Rating: - Excellent but needs more plant namesI'm really pleased with this. It has big sections on every shape of garden - small & square, long & narrow, wide, all around the house, L shape etc. There are several plans for each shape. The section on surveying your garden is particularly well done. I would prefer more plant suggestions throughout, and there is very little about using colour. However these subjects are covered better by specific books (eg The Gardener's Book of Colour). Rating: - Perfect for beginersThis book is brilliant as it is easy to follow and could potentially turn you into a garden designer in a few hours! All basic concepts that render gardens more interesting are revealed. I particularly liked the design strategies engaged to entice visitors to explore every corner of the finished garden. An extensive number of examples are given with detailed designs shown on plan and in perspective. I spent a lot of money on various books on the subject, only to find out that this was the only book i needed! Unless you want to go into specifics such as pond or water feature construction that is. Incredible value for money. Rating: - Good value for moneyBeautifully illustrated and very readble book with plenty of ideas and information on planning different types of gardens. The book gives layout plans and guidance for designing your own plot. Only downside is there is little information on including water features in your garden.
