The Essentials of Garden Design

by John Brookes

John Brookes is well-known both as a creative and original garden designer and as a gifted teacher who has influenced generations of gardeners. This practical, easy-to-follow, and inspiring workbook is a summation of his philosophy of garden design.

Brookes begins with the basics, explaining his famous design grid for simple surveying, then shows how to work with the area of your site, select local plants, and choose building materials that make a garden look very much at home in its setting. His book is ideal for those who want to design or redesign their own gardens, those who want to be well-informed when working with their garden designers, and those who want to become garden designers themselves.
