Customer Reviews

A coffee table book worth browsing

Definitely worth looking at but maybe not as compelling as a "reading book" if you don't have much interest in Ms. Merser's own garden dilemmas and adventures. Massive and clean photographs bring a variety of styles and landscape features to life. For it's ease in thumbing through and printed excellence, it qualifies as an amazingly well designed book; it meets and exceeds the challenge for a book based on the subject of design. The content structure, illustrative artwork and captions are outstanding, too.If a subsequent publishing were to be printed, I might suggest a little less base editorial and more photographic and illustrative artwork, with each given more insight and history in the caption. Hardly a criticism though, this book certainly could excite even the casual gardener. This is a very worthy book to either borrow or own.

Nicely organized with alot of vaiety and food for thought

I liked this book very much. It had gorgeous pictures and an interesting way to look at gardening. It showed me things about my own style of gardening that I was doing but not really aware of what exactly or why exactly I was doing it. It was inspiring and motivating.

Informative, descriptive, motivating, can't wait for Spring!
