Discover the timeless wisdom of John Brookes MBE, one of the most influential garden designers of all time. Renowned as 'the man who made the modern garden', Brookes transformed the way we think about outdoor spaces, making them not just places for plants, but true extensions of the home.
In How to Design a Garden, Brookes shares his groundbreaking design philosophy, practical methods, and enduring advice drawn from decades of teaching, writing, and lecturing around the world. Whether you’re a professional designer, a student of landscape architecture, or a passionate home gardener, this book will inspire you to create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and liveable.
Inside you’ll find:
- A clear, practical approach to designing gardens that suit modern lifestyles
- Brookes’ insights on environmental sustainability and linking the garden to its setting
- A directory of 50 essential plants
- Inspirational ideas and real-world tips from one of the most respected voices in garden design
This revised and updated edition of In How to Design a Garden proves why John Brookes’ ideas remain as relevant today as when he first introduced them. Thoughtful, practical, and visionary, this is a must-have for anyone who wants to design a garden that truly works for the people who use it.
