Visual sourcebook

Perhaps not the "best" of everything but definitely a visual source-book in a league of it's own. Packed with photographs and very little, text it's an encyclopaedic reference to a past of ideas, aspirations and and tastes. I had borrowed it from the library but just had to get my own copy, so, yes, I do recommend it.

pictures, pictures, pictures!

This book is pretty wonderful. It is loaded with pictures and you can definately get some ideas. This is not a how to book, there is very little to read at all. Great for a coffee table!

Great ideas

I love the quantity of photo's in the book. It's not a 'how-to-do' book. It is a book that provides you with a variety of options for a specific part of a garden. Enough to get our creative juices flowing.

Great Book!

I checked this book out from the library, and was thoroughly impressed! I have since put it on my wish list. Tons of ideas for every aspect of your garden--WOW!

A feast for the eyes!

If you're a creative artistic person who knows what they like but can't quite express it this is the book you've been waiting for. Over 1000 pictorial examples of garden ideas laid out in chapter form for you to take to the garden center and triumphantly exclaim, "I want to do this!" Great for planning your landscape and considering all the design possibilities you may never knew existed. Don't hesistate here, you won't be disappointed.
