RHS Encyclopedia of Garden Design: Be Inspired to Plan, Build, and Plant Your Perfect Outdoor Space

This book is a absolute Lifesaver for people who are trying to redesign their garden or have got their first garden. Highly recommend it. It gives you everything you need to know to do a lot yourself without having to pay contractors.

Very informative book. Lots of ideas for all garden types. Was very well received as a gift

Great

A great book for my gardening library. Full of inspirational ideas to change an old garden or plan one from scratch. Plenty of practical guidelines and planting ideas. Definitely worth purchasing. The only thing I felt it fell short of was more inspirational plants to use. It was more for the beginner in plant knowledge. But then I am one of those gardeners who always look for the rare or unusual to add a little more interest to my garden.

An excellent reference book to inspire your garden design from small to large garden. A great addition for any gardener. I will use this book often, lots of information.

Just what I needed for inspiration, excellent book by Dorling Kindersley

I really liked the lay out of this book, there are lush photos of gardens and also 2D plans to give you examples of how the gardens were built. There are sections on how to attain co-ordinated borders and there is extensive information on what materials to chose for your particular garden. Sadly this book has given me so many ideas I'm going to have to win the lottery to make them all reality. I've wasted some money on a couple of other garden planning books which weren't very good but I'd advise you to try this one first as it has been the most deatiled in my opinion.

I have had this book for a number of months now and can't help but keep leafing through it as it find it so full of inspiration. It's really well laid out, so it's easy to dip in and out and just read the section you are interested in. The photography is really good, but it's a lot more than just a book a beautiful images. I love the section on choosing a style and the plant and materials guide at the back. I have a small city garden and found lots of relevant ideas, and I'm sure it would equally useful for a much larger space.

Book is excellent.... language is also very easy to understand.... information of garden with pictures are also good... thank u so much....

If you are looking for a great book to help you find out what kind of garden you want and also what that garden needs, this book is fantastic. In the beginning it asks you questions, like how much time do you want to spend on your garden and then goes on to an extensive section on choosing a style. After 255 pages you then go on to the basics of making a garden, which includes building structures and planting techniques. The last 60 pages are then dedicated to a plants and materials guide section. On the whole this comprehensive book is great and very up to date with plenty of modern ideas and beautiful pictures. It helps you to consider a lot of different aspects of your garden or outdoor space if you prefer something without a lawn for example.

Tanti spunti per creare un giardino.

Splendide

Recién me he iniciado en el estudio del diseño de jardines y por lo que poco que visto en el libro hay muchos detalles constructivos, información botánica importante, excelentemente bien ilustrado. Será como un texto de consulta constante y eso es muy loable.
