Introduction to Garden Styles for Beginners What a delightful book, just enough information to get your creative garden designing juices flowing while grounding you in the basic necessities of each garden type. And author Nina Greene gives her readers quite a selection. I feel like I have taken a garden trip around the world and back into nostalgia. My mother and grandmother, both avid gardeners, gifted me the experience of several of the gardens presented by the author, including a rock garden, a vegetable garden, an herb garden, and a melange of blossoms throughout the spring, summer and fall, along with memories of a cut crystal vase set in the midst of a dark mahogany dining room table filled with bright, freshly cut aromatic flowers. It’s a wonder the butterflies didn’t follow them inside. Very well put together book. The illustrations were well chosen and the text easy to follow. Excellent book.
