Garden Spaces: Simple Solutions for Planning and Design

Award-winning garden designer George Carter presents an array of imaginative ways to transform the look of an existing garden-or create an entirely new one. With his expert techniques-outlined in explanatory photographs, drawings, and easy-to-follow plans-it's easy to enliven or disguise unpleasant aspects of a garden's perimeters, make the most of both light and shade, and choose surface substitutes for grass and paving. There's also invaluable advice on subdividing even small spaces, and smoothly coordinating a mix of flower and vegetable gardens, play and leisure areas, and storage. Most beautiful of all: his stage-inspired designs for creating theatrical effects.
