This book is a well laid book on starting a suburban garden. The advise is very practical and the designs are traditionally based, which makes it a very good book for beginners and easy care gardeners. There is instructions on fencing, lawn, beds, decking, verandas, porches and paths design. The section on garden style is good and show how to adapt the original base to various looks such as Japanese, cottage, modern, courtyard and more. I like the section on organic gardening, including set up and information on growing many vegetables. Of course there is lots of information on growing and care of other plants for the garden.
A good book for the practical landscaper

When i do manage to put a book down, i love to spend time in the garden. Last year we decided to re design our garden, experimenting with colour and various other combinations. I was so pleased to have had the opportunity to read this book, as it has given us plenty of new ideas and advice. What i also found useful in this book was a chapter about paths and path constructions. Mine certainly needs attention! There is so much useful information in this book with beautiful colour photographs and plenty of diagrams. I can highly recommend this book to all who enjoy their gardens. One of the best gardening books that i have read for some time.
My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.

This book is easy to read and easy to use. It gives step by step instructions on how to properly build the best place for growing and protect the garden you plant. My grandmother was an avid gardener and taught me most of what I know about gardening today. She grew mainly flowers so this book was great at opening my eyes to how to better grow fruits, veggies, and herbs. I can not wait for summer to get more plants growing and utilize this book even more.
