Inspirational I was deeply inspired by this little book. It covered all of the basics, but did not go into boring details that might have bogged down my creative ideas.She hit the high-points of what is required to begin (not what I expected), then provided a good selection of images to illustrate and back up her concepts. Her writing style was easy to understand and it naturally led me to imagine my own patio/back yard landscaped with her ideas. I enjoyed this book very much and will use these ideas over and over.
Excellent overview I learned more helpful information about garden design in this mini-book than in any full length garden design text. Rachel Mathews distills a lot of technical design theory to simple principles and then effectively illustrates them with designs and photos. Very, very worthwhile. She has a clear writing style and her gardens look wonderful.Now I wish she had a text on natural gardens for large, country properties.
Small Garden book….. Excellent design and step by step with great pictures. Easy to follow instructions and lots of great planning ideas. Love the small garden plans.
