very helpful

Very good book to use as a workbook for designing a garden, but not enough on it's own. I am working on designing a landscape for our home, and I use this book primarily, along with 'the well designed mixed garden', and 'your house, your garden'. a book about local plants is also very beneficial. Using all of these gives me confidence in doing something I have never done before.

worth the search

This is an outstanding tool for both the beginner and advanced gardener. Janet has a way of explaining things in an order that helps prevent mistakes caused by over enthusiasm, and still feels like a game. It is easy to read and use, doesn't feel like homework to work through.

A Great Tool to Focus Gardening Priorities

Easy Garden Design helped me to think through the reasons I wanted a garden, and how to tell if the finished product is successful. My whole landscape was simply too overwhelming to think about or budget for, so now I've learned to design and complete one garden area at a time. Previously, I've taken a scattershot approach and was unhappy with the results. Now I have an overall landscape plan and am proceeding with confidence.. An excellent resource!
