I really like this garden book, as I think every garden big or small should be tackled one space at a time. I used this to landscape two courtyards, it is a good book for homeowners, but also for landscape designers. The hardcover version is really nice, could be a coffee table book with its beautiful pictures. In addition to container gardening ideas, it has great tips on setting up outdoor private areas or rooms, affordably. The problem we all have is we go buy a bunch of stuff that looks great at the garden center, but it we really need to plan colors, shapes, size, and textures of plants, as well as the the other features and hardscapes of those spaces. The book also explains the pros and cons of plants and what plants need a sunnier or shadier spot. The author teaches us how to do it, as well as having plans we can borrow. From Design basics, plant selection, to how to create some of those things in the garden you never knew you could easily do yourself. He has instructions for building garden paths, paved areas, water features, patios, fences and retaining walls, you name it. So far everything I have tried from this book worked, and was easy to understand. It is 160 pages, over 300 photos, a big oversized book that measures 12" high x 9" wide and weighs 2.75 pounds. I recommend.
