Taking advantage of a resurgent interest in nature conservation and indigenous plants, the book describes in simple terms, the factors to consider before designing a garden. Specific details are given on how to draw up a plan for a garden which will enhance the appearance of your home and provide additional living space. A wealth of splendid colour photographs, sketches and plans illustrate clearly where to have a patio, terrace, sunken garden, path, pergola, arbour, trellis or gazebo.
