Description
In The New Garden Designer's Handbook, Daryl Beyers guides gardeners and budding designers through the process of planning useful, beautiful gardens, large and small, from start to finish.

Complete with step-by-step instructions, detailed illustrations, and over 20 prototypical design plans, this practical, easy-to-follow primer describes how professional garden designers think and work, followed up with expert advice on how to evaluate a design, develop a reasonable budget, and get going on implementation.

Gardeners will learn how to:
  • Conduct a site survey, determine the scope of the design, create a base map and complete design drawings.
  • Assess and work with diverse landforms and their corresponding soil type and drainage issues.
  • Choose, create, and implement an array of built structures that make outdoor spaces useful and beautiful.
  • Design with plants by developing a plant palette complete with trees, shrubs, perennial flowers, ornamental grasses, annuals, tender perennials, and bulbs.
  • Put it all together into a comprehensive design plan!
