Judith Lywood's aim is to offer a new approach to garden design. It
need not be costly, complex nor daunting. This book is full of
ideas and practical information that will help you to quickly and
easily transform even the most unpromising patch into a charming
area that you, your family and friends will cherish. Within this
book, Judith Lywood has developed ten garden designs, with
beautiful illustrations and plant descriptions. Several of the
designs encompass areas for growing fruit and vegetables adding
attraction and interest to the planting scheme. These designs can
be reproduced as a complete design, or adapted to fit your outdoor
space, be it a small, narrow, medium size or a full family garden.
The book includes an easy to follow construction guide with
detailed illustrations along with guidance and advice for
successfully growing your crops. All the designs and planting
schemes have been chosen with the aim of giving enchanting views
from your home with an attractive place outside to relax in
privacy.
Piet Oudolf, one of world's most visionary and influential
landscape gardeners, is at the forefront of the New Perennial
planting movement. This glorious full-colour volume features
twenty-three of Oudolf's most beautiful public and private gardens.
Noel Kingsbury's accessible text places Oudolf's work in context,
and explains how each garden and the plants selected for it fit the
specific environment, while Oudolf's detailed plans provide
inspiration and insight for all those interested in small personal
gardens and the design of large-scale public landscapes alike.
This book deals with the basic aspects of landscape gardening
including garden types and styles, principles, elements and garden
components in detail and is well supported with illustrations and
photographs for better clarity and easy understanding. It has been
compiled especially for the students and it would also be useful to
the landscape professionals, teachers as well as garden and nature
lovers.
Thorough, how-to explanations and illustrations present the

illustrations and helpful case study examples provide a clear look
at the principles and techniques discussed in the book, making it
an ideal introductory text for students and an invaluable reference
for professional designers and homeowners. Residential Landscape
Architecture: Design Process for the Private Residence, 7/e retains
