Inspirational!
I really like the photography in this book.There is great visual inspiration on nearly every page.I suppose it would be nice to have specifics on all the varieties of plants you see in this book BUT really it offers tons of great ideas to feed your mind's eye. If you like what you see enough then you'll do the legwork to figure out similar plants for your zone.I enjoy thumbing through all of the 200+ pages it has and there are always some different elements (large or small) to draw from and boost my imagination for what I want to do on my own property.

Great resource for novice landscapers !
I really like the author 'a approach to landscape design. Her concepts, sketches, and beautiful photography clearly convey her principles while challenging the reader to create an outdoor living space uniquely theirs.

Set your inner landscaper free! :-)
Covers the aspects of landscaping with enough visuals and printed details to allow you to adapt the methods and techniques in the book to your landscaping project. There's even a very solid technique to guide you from 'that thing you like to do to the yard one day,', to a finished plan, including the detailed steps, and materials cost.

Really beautiful book! Well laid out.
Beautiful and inspiring pictures, great principles, it gave me what I needed for my project. For people new to the details involved in plants, there's not a lot of information in this book, but that's not what it set out to achieve. It's a great 'one of many' you should have in your collection if directing your landscaping, or wanting to be part of the decision-making process.

Great Book
I purchased this book as a gift for my brother who recently bought a new home. The color photos, ideas, descriptions and quality of the book are just wonderful. He has spent many happy hours perusing the book and putting the ideas to work.

Nice photos.
The photos are nice, but I couldn't really find anything in the book that I could use toward establishing my own particular garden. I guess it just depends on what your specific needs are.
