Garden Styles: Introduction to 25 Garden Designs & Styles offers a general overview of 25 unique iconic garden styles. In this fully illustrated guide, the author defines and explains common style choices that will satisfy the esthetic preferences of a wide range of tastes. Regional and maintenance issues such as soil quality, temperature, and weather conditions are considered and explained. In each chapter, a color photograph of a particular type of garden style provides a 'snapshot' of its major character traits, plant types and format. Inspiration beckons from every page! Certain gardens can only be grown in specific regions of the country and gardeners with interests in attracting specific birds or butterflies will do better with some garden selections than with others. Paging through the beautiful photographs in this guide enables the reader to eliminate gardens that are impractical so that more practical choices can be considered. If you are confused, perplexed and overwhelmed at the thought of selecting one specific gardening style to cultivate, this detailed, organized and informative guide will help you sift through a wide range of beautiful and popular gardening styles to make your final decision an easier one. You might even settle on two garden styles and meld them together to make your own very special garden. Garden Styles: Introduction to 25 Garden Designs & Styles is a great starting point for the gardener interested in creating his or her own unique Garden of Eden!
