 Good book on garden design, even for the beginner. May 8, 2008

Are you looking out at a bare patch of ground and wishing you knew what to do with it?
Look no further than this book, which is chock full of suggestions. One of the smartest things they have done is to give you a photo of the garden as well as a sketch of the garden in color. It means that whether you live in Maine or San Diego you can adapt the design to your weather zone.
Design ideas include sitting spots, passageways, beds and borders, specialty gardens, flower gardens and color gardens and backyards.
Even if you have the brownest of thumbs and have never planted anything, this in-depth, practical guide will be of help.
Great book with specific planting plans April 19, 2009

Just like the title states, this book is a simple book of garden designs. It shows a picture of a garden, then shows the actual planting guide that makes up the garden. There are many different designs to choose from, some for specific areas like the front entry of a house, shady areas, hot areas, side yards, etc. This is pretty much all the book contains. For my needs, it was exactly what I was looking for.
Offering more than 110 complete landscaping plans covering a wide range of garden spaces March 4, 2008

Gardening is an exercise in creative horticulture that when done well gives as much attention to esthetics as it does all the other elements contributing to a healthy garden. Fundamental to considerations of a garden's esthetic appearance is its design which can be either formal or informal. Offering more than 110 complete landscaping plans covering a wide range of garden spaces, the "Big Book Of Garden Designs", co-authored by garden design and landscaping experts Marianne Lipanovich and Tom Wilhite, provides even the most novice gardener with practical ideas with respect to specialty gardens, flower gardens, garden beds and borders, sitting spots in a garden, and passage ways. From first impressions and curb appeal, to a horticulturally customized back yard, the "Big Book Of Garden Designs" offers a wonderful combination of practical ideas, inspirations, and examples. Beautifully illustrated throughout, and featuring a chapter on Climate Zones that includes maps and descriptions, the "Big Book Of Garden Designs" is one of the newest additions to the Sunset Books gardening series and a welcome addition to personal and community do-it-yourself gardening guide reference collections.

The garden on the cover is unbelieveable... inside SUNSET breaks down all that the San Jose family did to create thier yard. The homeowner, Samantha, is truly an artist!
