1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beds & Borders: 40 Professional Designs for Do-It-Yourself (Paperback)

This book is nothing more than an attempt to get you to buy their landscape blueprints. It is actually put out by Home Planners. Not very up front about this fact on the cover though

1.0 out of 5 stars CAN YOU SAY RIPOFF?, August 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beds & Borders: 40 Professional Designs for Do-It-Yourself (Paperback)

A quick glance through this book at the home and garden store promised many detailed designs. Upon close examination, however, it became clear that this book is nothing more than a glossy come-on, requiring you to sink another fifteen bucks PER DESIGN for a plant list specific to your locale. Don't waste your money on this one.

The detail on structuring the garden (balance, colors, form, etc.)is excellent, especially for someone who has already tried to create a professional-looking landscape but didn't have all the info!)
