Hardly a "new way" but definitely a priority in every garden

The book is small but fruitful in picture and narrative. The title, "Garden Paths: A new way to solve practical problems in the garden", should read, "Garden Paths: A great tool for solving practical problems in the garden". Regardless of title the fact remains that the author and publisher are addressing a key factor in bringing continuity to nearly every yardscape. As a landscape designer in Massachusetts, I find that many clients lose sight of the totality of their yardscape, sometimes getting too caught up only in its "curb appeal". This book and its subject help to broaden our approach to the yard and its different "spaces". It reveals the simple truths on how we as humans can best maximize, connect and enjoy each space's potential by thoughtfully creating paths for us to journey on.Decent photos and a clean design make the book enjoyable to poke through and pull from. For a quick read on an important physical and spiritual element to gardens, this book will not dissapoint.
