Reviews
With inspirational photos and succinct text, this book contains a useful collection of photos of gardens in different styles, and many suggestions for more unusual materials. I'd recommend it for home owners wishing to create a more unusual garden, or for designers wishing to show clients some of the more exciting possibilities.
