Garden Design Workbook John Brookes, Chairman of the Society of Garden Designers
In this garden design book the reader is lead in structured stages, from the principles of design, assessing the site and the hoped-for effect, to plotting out ideas on paper with the help of checklists and a special grid system. Seven interleaved tracing-paper sheets let the gardener experiment with pattern, proportion, individual plantings, and different solutions in a real-life garden. For inspiration, there is a portfolio of 21 John Brookes schemes to study and borrow from.
