My backyard is a typical suburban home lot with absolutely no appeal at the moment. This lovely book with its beautiful photos is chocked full of practical advice for a novice or even an experienced gardener. I loved that the author warns against trying to do too much too soon and emphasized the work that has to go into planting and maintaining a garden. He also gives suggestions on what plants or shrubs are suited for the area that I live in. I had no idea, except for the wildflowers that grow in my area. This book has helped me to set small goals and build on them in time. I will be using this book for information and inspiration for a long time! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great coffee table book *by H***7 on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023* I really enjoyed reading through this book. It is big and hefty and well-produced and would look wonderful on a coffee table. But beyond that, I enjoyed most of the articles and pictures within the book. Most are legitimately useful and would be great for anyone who wanted to design a much better outdoor space (though it appears to be geared mainly towards backyards). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish I had this book years ago! *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022* This book isn’t a plant encyclopedia, there are too many of those on the market already.This is a guide book that meets you where you are and questions you on where want to take your outdoor space (in my case my backyard). It then gives guidance on how to move forward in the process. The book is built on the author's foundation of growing up in the nursery business (5th generation), and is beautifully presented. It incorporates his love of landscape (style, color, texture, etc.) and spaces. It’s infectious.I’m an engineer, and my husband says’ “hard to please”. We lost our backyard (0.5 acre) in a fire in 2003. It’s been 19 years and nothing has changed (current photo of yard attached). Have we hired landscape architect firms to design us plans? Yes, two. The plans fell short and included things (like a pool and a no-mow grass meadow fire hazard) that we were not interested in. After reading this book (yes, I read it all) I realize now our approach was all wrong. We were looking big picture, very broad. No one asked us what did we really want? What did we really need? What did we like? What was our style? Should we phase it? How will we water it? The questions asked in this guide book. We needed to know some of those answers first before we start with the design.The book assumes, like me, that the reader has no real training or background in the plant world. The author suggests steps in the design process with fun “date” homework assignments. You might not know what you “want”, but you can determine what you “like”. Is it a “want” or “need”? Size, spacing, hardscaping, and color combinations? What are you willing to do and what needs to be contracted out?The book helps you develop an outdoor space concept which will be an extension of your home, and for us, in phases. What is my soil type (unfortunately clay). What is my style (Martha)? Is there texture? What color flowers do I prefer based on my style (blue & green)? In my case this will be an ongoing process, starting with a framework and adding & editing over time. a lot to digest, but I can read it again.I look forward to the next book…maybe a field guide to hillsides/slopes? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/333785250-field-guide-to-outside-style-design-and-plant-your-perfect](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/333785250-field-guide-to-outside-style-design-and-plant-your-perfect) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
