Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Complete Planting Design Course takes a comprehensive approach to the complex process of Planting Design. It shows how to choose and combine plants for specific effects: for year-round color and interest; for drama and movement; and to overcome site difficulties.

From initial vision to finished planting, the book clearly explains the practical steps, considerations, opportunities and decisions that need to be taken. This process can be applied to readers' own gardens, and it will also allow them to take their skills further into other people's gardens.

Includes index.
