lots of ideas, not enough photographs,
This book had a lot of ideas but I feel that it needed more photographs to give be a better visual. It has tons of water color renditions but I rather see actual photos since I’m just a novice at this.

|Good book on garden design, even for the beginner.,
Are you looking out at a bare patch of ground and wishing you knew what to do with it?
Look no further than this book, which is chock full of suggestions. One of the smartest things they have done is to give you a photo of the garden as well as a sketch of the garden in color. It means that whether you live in Maine or San Diego you can adapt the design to your weather zone.
Design ideas include sitting spots, passageways, beds and borders, specialty gardens, flower gardens and color gardens and backyards.
Even if you have the brownest of thumbs and have never planted anything, this in-depth, practical guide will be of help.

|Great book with specific planting plans,
Just like the title states, this book is a simple book of garden designs. It shows a picture of a garden, then shows the actual planting guide that makes up the garden. There are many different designs to choose from, some for specific areas like the front entry of a house, shady areas, hot areas, side yards, etc. This is pretty much all the book contains. For my needs, it was exactly what I was looking for.
