Editorial Review:

Product Description:


A ready reference of stimulating garden features from all over the world.



Renowned garden designer Derek Fell has compiled more than 1,000 photographs to create a personal scrapbook of his favorite design features from around the world. Together with his insightful commentary, they provide a wealth of ideas and inspiration for the home gardener.



The book features:
  • A-Z listing of more than 150 design categories, from balconies and paths to abstract concepts like silhouettes, framing, and whimsy
  • More than 1,000 fully captioned, full-color photographs of award-winning gardens
  • Hundreds of practical suggestions for garden planning, planting, and design, and achieving year-round interest.




Valuable tips on plant cultivation mingle with garden history and elegant description as Fell guides readers through famed gardens such as Monet's Clos Normand, Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., and Rome's Villa d'Este, plus private gardens like his own Cedaridge Farm.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - EXCELLENT reference!!!
Wow! I just cannot say enough good things about this book! When it arrived, before opening it I expected to just see another book with black and white sketches telling me things I already knew. But from cover to cover, I found tons of beautiful, inspiring photos of actual gardens and landscaping which has given me many good ideas to incorporate into my own plans. The text is also easy to follow and understand (even for a beginner), the detailed captions are very helpful, and the overall layout of ... Read More
