Garden Design and Landscaping

Thumb through “Garden Design and Landscaping” to develop YOUR green thumb!
No matter what color your thumb is when you open this book, this DIY gardening guide can take your planting (and landscaping) skills from no-grow novice to gardening guru in a matter of PAGES.
Written for the go-getting DIY-er, Garden Design and Landscaping is a back-to-the-basics breakdown of garden design, helping you formulate a plan with the space you have and see that plan through—with all the posy particulars in between.
To get to your backyard garden oasis, Mark Parkes, a gardener, landscape architect, designer, and creator of public and private gardens for over two decades, walks with you through this step-by-step guide to help you create your dream garden.
What makes Garden Design and Landscaping the only read you’ll need when it comes to garden design? Most landscaping books are NOT made for all-level gardeners, with too-technical terms, sector-specific information, and inapplicable tips that leave almost three-fourth of readers scratching their heads.
However, Garden Design and Landscaping was created for beginners like you, not only giving you helpful information about the process of garden creation, but also easy-to-follow tips, informational illustrations, and a simple guide to lead you to your first (or next) garden oasis.
In Garden Design and Landscaping, you’ll learn about:

• The basics of landscape design to create a garden
• How to avoid expensive mistakes before the creation of the garden
• Low-cost strategies that help you save money
• The best selection of plants and flowers based on your climate zone
• How to choose your garden’s style and see it through
• Creative ideas for your garden

Garden Design and Landscaping can help guide you through the process, avoid beginner mistakes, and create a breathtaking landscape design to make your entire neighborhood jealous.
For a typical first consultation with gardening expert and author Parkes, customers will pay around $1,000. Garden Design and Landscaping gives you that firsthand knowledge and access to Parkes and his 20 years of experience at a small fraction of the cost.
After reading this book, you’ll be able to turn any home landscape into a place of refuge and beauty: your personal, green oasis in the comfort of your own backyard.
