Summary

"The book designed from the get-go to be short, easy-to-use, concise, and appealing as a basic beginning/early-mid-level book especially for home gardeners looking for color-likely the most appealing feature of gardens for most home gardeners. It will be written in a 'do it yourself' (DIY) style, aiming to allow readers to duplicate the designs and templates outlined in the book for starters but with plenty of room, of course, to learn how to adapt them to their own styles and go on to create new designs based on the sound principles offered by Ward. Ward's professional philosophy, in fashioning the book as a DIY guide with step-by-step instructions, is to help the reader achieve design and gardening success with as much swift and positive reinforcement as possible"--, Provided by publisher
