It's really All About Landscape Design

Hi, I'm Jo Kellum, the author of this book. In it, I take you step-by-step through the design process so you can create a yard you'll love. Fancy drawings aren't necessary, but you do need to plan before you plant and this book shows you how. Whether you need a little design advice or are planning a major landscape makeover, I think you'll find All About Landscaping helpful. I am a landscape architect myself but this book is written for everybody (no landscape experience required!)P.S. Write reviews and let me know what you think!P.P.S. If you're looking for information about how to pick the right plant for the right place and tons of how-to projects on everything from planting to pruning, check out my latest book: Landscaping 1-2-3 (The Home Depot). There are three versions of this book so you can buy the one that has the best information for your region.

The Best Garden Design Book I Found!

Ok, so I decided to design my own front garden. I get sudden inspirations to do something like this and, typically, buy every book that looks reasonable on that subject that I can find. Despite it's lack of pretensions and humble origin, this book with the single most useful book I found on designing a garden. The entire design process was simply presented and gorgeously illustrated! A Really Useful Book!
