Synopsis

Maybe your garden isn't what it once was.  Or maybe it's stunning during the full bloom of summer, but falls apart the rest of the year.  Maybe it's crowded, sparse or it just doesn't resonate with you, and you have no idea why or what to do about it.  Don't despair!  Acclaimed garden designer and best-selling author Rebecca Sweet offers simple strategies for transforming blah spaces into breathtaking places. 
 
Garden transformations don't always require an expensive overhaul by a team of professionals. Sometimes all it takes is a fresh perspective, and a new way to look at your garden.  You'll learn how to identify problem areas with your current plantings (such as clashing colors, lack of flow or 'one-of-each-itis') and how to inject new life using artful combinations of color, texture, shape and form.  
 
You'll learn how to break down traditional garden design principles into easy-to-understand and, more importantly, easy-to-implement solutions. Inspirational photographs highlight and reinforce real-life situations, helping you not only to identify what has gone wrong with your garden, but how to fix the problem.  All the while transforming your garden into a rich and layered tapestry.
