[Ruric Amhari · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good sections on different garden stylrd (cottage, japanese, counrtyard etc). Book is split into four sections. Section 1: designing a garden: making a plan, principles of design and planting, site prep and gives 10 example designs. Section 2: garden elements: boundaries, surfaces, features, water and living in the garden. Section 3: top 100 plants. Section 4: gardening techniques. Plenty of pictures, diagrams and "how to" backed by thorough text explanations.
