Beyond gardening

Jamie’s design talents are beyond divine. This is a great coffee table book I love it and given two as gifts

Inspired, indeed...

Jamie Durie is not well known yet in the USA but likely this will change once his TV show airs. In the meantime, this book will introduce you to his work - and his sources of inspiration. The great appeal of this book is that landscape designers - as well as designers in any discipline - can find inspiration all around you. It's packed with design illustrations and gorgeous images - many of them of the author himself!
