Synopsis

These 25 beautifully illustrated designs offer a solution for every location, from tree-shaded corners to sunny front yards. Three major sections cover small and large gardens, garden plots, and container gardens, with advice on frequently encountered challenges. Every layout includes planting instructions, site specifications, comprehensive plant information, an exquisite watercolor rendering of the plan, and eye-opening color photos. A plant substitution guide helps you find alternatives to the suggested varieties that will suit local conditions and match your personal preferences.

About this title

From Booklist

Clausen provides clear-cut plans, plant lists, and well-illustrated planting directions for all sorts of situations in sun or shade, outdoors and in the home. Tips and reminders are used to address design issues and maintenance, and to point out poisonous species. Clausen then suggests ways to beautify a spot by the mailbox, dress up a picket fence with cheerful annuals, introduce a geometric motif of edible flowers and appealing vegetables, and enliven a side yard with branch silhouettes. Although advice on plant culture is limited, the book's pretty layout and colorful photographs should entice novices to try something new in the garden. Alice Joyce
