RHS Encyclopedia of Garden Design: Planning, Building and Planting Your Perfect Outdoor Space

Loaded with great ideas, and plenty of suggestions to help me imagine my garden layouts. A comprehensive section on building garden additions, from paths to pergolas, and many fine photos of garden designs ranging from formal to cottage and to very contemporary. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that too often plants are referred to be a common name, which is so variable from place to place that I sometimes have to go to external sources to determine exactly what plant they are talking about. I also lacks solutions to problems peculiar to my land, but I did not expect all the answers in this book ... that would take a few volumes, sadly enough. Overall, a great buy, with inspiring pictures and good details on how to achieve the effects featured.

The book wasn’t packaged well so all the corner have been crunched / marred. Otherwise the book is a great reference. Very well written and enjoyable to look at with pictures and easy to follow descriptions.

HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL, Detailed Reference book that will last a Lifetime. Can't go Wrong.☆☆☆
