'Designer Matt Keightley's first book is a thing of beauty and a
valuable source of design inspiration - a stylish guide to a
stylish garden.' - Gardens Illustrated Do you want your outdoor
space to look as stylish and as well designed as your home? RHS
Design Outdoors will give you the ideas and know-how you need to
make that happen. Award-winning designer Matt Keightley has curated
a collection of 35 gardens, created either by him or by other
leading contemporary designers, that will provide the inspiration
to transform your outdoor space. Gardeners features include
award-winning designers Jo Thompson, Tom Stuart Smith, Tony Woods,
Charlotte Rowe and Andrew Wilson. For each case study there is a
detailed plan, information on the plants and materials used and a
wealth of gorgeous photography by leading garden photographer
Marianne Majerus. The designs are organized into five categories:
Showstoppers at Home - high-design concepts that are nonetheless
achievable; Family-friendly - gardens that incorporate play areas
and socialising; Minimalist - spaces with larger areas of hard
landscaping and bold, restrained planting; Plants First - gardens
where more than half of the outdoor space is planted; and Other
Spaces - roof terraces, basement areas and front gardens. This wide
array of garden styles means that there is inspiration for all
types of garden, and for all types of gardener.
