Complete with step-by-step instructions, detailed illustrations, and over 20 prototypical design plans, this practical, easy-to-follow primer describes how professional garden designers think and work, followed up with expert advice on how to evaluate a design, develop a reasonable budget, and get going on implementation.
Gardeners will learn how to:
- Conduct a site survey, determine the scope of the design, create a base map and complete design drawings.
- Assess and work with diverse landforms and their corresponding soil type and drainage issues.
- Choose, create, and implement an array of built structures that make outdoor spaces useful and beautiful.
- Design with plants by developing a plant palette complete with trees, shrubs, perennial flowers, ornamental grasses, annuals, tender perennials, and bulbs.
- Put it all together into a comprehensive design plan!
