Mesmerizing. A Keeper

This is an outstanding garden design book. I have not actually read much of the text, but the mesmerizing photos of some of the most beautiful gardens in the world are ones I want to look at again and again. Although my garden area is much smaller than some of these beautiful estate gardens, the pictures still give me loads of ideas of how to make my garden area more "glorious," with interesting paths, vines, planters, moss, centers of focus, planting arrangements, etc. etc.. Here are some of the themes: THe walled garden, Annual garden Water Garden Winter Garden Kitchen Garden rose Garden Garden room Terraced Garden Scented Garden Cottage Garden The Colour-Themed Garden Social Garden Herb Garden Formal Garden Hot-Climate Garden Secret Garden Container Garden Fruit Garden Paved Garden Index of Plants
