Synopsis

An essential handbook for every would-be garden designer. Provides clear answers for gardeners struggling with any aspect of the designing process, be it plant association, style, or practical considerations. Guidance on costing, ordering plants and garden law will allow readers to be as professional as they chose. Created by an experienced garden design lecturer Hilary Thomas and garden photographer (and garden design graduate) Steven Wooster, the approach is simplified for keen amateurs, students of design and professional designers. All aspects are simple, beautifully illustrated and clearly explained. This innovative approach to using plants in design is not found in any other book. This book is an economical alternative to attending a Planting Design course. Garden Design is a fast-growing area of study with front and back gardens increasingly considered as important considerations in the purchase of a house. Intended for garden designers, design students, keen amateurs and beginner gardeners whose planting lack style and creativity. This book will have an international appeal, as garden and planting design is a global discipline, and the British are universally respected in this. Follows in the steps of the John Brookes Garden Design Course (similar format, similar spec) which takes a much broader approach to design including landscaping, furniture, boundaries, levels and ornamentation.
