This extremely well-conceived book gives planting plans for a variety of border situations (shady, sunny & stony, poolside, a very narrow space, etc.). It features drawings of each border in two different seasons, showing how the look will change as different plants come into bloom, photographs of each plant, and suggestions for varying each border by substituting plants which will give a different color scheme or look. A lot of information is packed into a concise format full of interesting planting ideas, making this an exceptionally useful and readable book.

This is an awsome book to have if you like to decorate your yard with living things! Bushes,flowers,plants- you name it and it can be turned into a beautiful border. I have this in the large paperback version and let me just say...my yard sparkles with life. It is a wonderful and easy to understand guide to creating stunning borders around your home and yard. I bought one for my mother-in-law and she loves it. Can't go wrong with this item!!

This is an ideal book to plan out boarders but address all parts of the garden, pathways, pots etc. for all seasons and locations. Well laid out and beautiful illustrations and photographs. My husband had seen it in hardback and I was able to find it here in paperback at a great savings and no compromise for going with paperback. It has been a wonderful resource book.

A friend lent me this book and I found it so delightful, so helpful, that I now am purchasing my own copy. Very well done - particularly helpful layout and variety of categories for developing your garden.
