According to Chris Young, Editor in Chief of this tome since the first edition, this is the most substantial update yet. “Fashions, trends, ideas and understanding change in all creative worlds – and that is especially true in the garden design world”, explains Young. “This update includes new information about sustainability and environmental awareness; new garden design styles and innovations; and lots of new plants. In addition, we’ve added a set of new one-page planting guides such as ‘Plants for urban gardens’ and ‘Plants for the senses’. With all the normal design advice, step by steps on building garden features, design principles and lots more, it’s hopefully the garden design book everyone needs – and can enjoy!”
