Reviews

[Laura]

I’m designing my garden and found this book to be the most useful of the ones I’ve read. I don’t always agree with the author but it has great ideas on how to make an interesting and flowing garden.

This was a very good, practical and informative little book! I wonder why they don't sell it on Amazon any more....

Roy Strong strikes a fine balance between formal and cottage and I heartily approve.
