5.0 out of 5 stars Great Garden Designs with Excellant Information, June 28, 2006
This is, without a doubt, one of the finest gardening design books I have come across. It shows many different styles of gardens with distinct flair. If you want to be inspired by innovative ideas, buy it. It is one of my two favorite gardening books---and I have many.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Essential, September 29, 2000
By A Customer
The pictures are inspirational and the advise is practical and lyrical. The authors write well and LOVE gardens of all kinds. Everything is covered from balconys to estates, minimal to extravagant, and covered thoughly with many idea engendering photos.

This book is a beautifully photographed, well written book about landscaping. It is like owning a pictoral encyclopedia for gardeners.
