Review: A simple structure on which a lot of detail hangs - My husband bought me this for my birthday after we had visited Cordoba in Spain. We want to create a Moorish courtyard similar to those we saw there and in Seville and Granada. This book is beautifully constructed and very clear on all the features found in Islamic gardens, their meanings and uses. My own design flowed easily from the information given and now all we have to do is find the right builder. A lovely, lovely book. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 119,578 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 64 in Landscape Gardening 214 in Garden Design & Planning 541 in Islamic Religion | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 72 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of the Islamic Garden - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91YQJnc-t7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best guide to creating an Islamic garden in UK *by L***R on 9 November 2025* An inspirational book.
