Dated and Boring,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Design Ideas (The Best of Fine Gardening) (Paperback)
I purchased the book because I thought that anything Fine Gardening put out would be superb. I thought wrong-as a landscaper I'm looking for new and different ideas, Fine Gardenings trademark. If the content wasn't great I thought I could always use the photo's to show clients for ideas- wrong again. The photos are dark and dreary. Again I should have paid more attention to the copy right date.

Worth Reading,
This review is from: Design Ideas (The Best of Fine Gardening) (Paperback)
This is the first book I've read on the subject of gardening or design, and I'm glad I bought it. As a novice, I'm now going to buy additional books featuring more plans and how-to's of building walk-ways, walls and other hands-on aspects, but this book explained the basics to me of what is important in a garden and what makes gardens pleasing to the eye. It's got a broad range of topics, and there were a few pieces inside that were really useful. I found some stuff relevant to my style for north-east, but there's also information for California-type gardens and open spaces, i.e., if you have several acres. Very inspirational and great for ideas. It starts with site lay-out and the importance of drawing or making a plan and builds from there. It's a series of articles, all well-written.
