The Less Is More Garden: Big Ideas for Designing… par Susan Morrison
The reason I wanted to read this book is that I have a small yard, and designed/landscaped it a few years ago. I wanted to read this book to see what I had done well and what I can still do or improve upon. I found myself agreeing with the author throughout the book, as she suggested many ideas and strategies, several of which I had implemented. Great advice, a variety of solutions including theories and various climates, a very generous assortment of beautiful color photos (both landscape and hardscape), and a commonsense writing style which encourages both beginning and experienced designers/gardeners. What kicks this book up a few notches above many similar gardening/landscaping books is Morrison's emphasis on the concept of your garden having a sense of place. This is an inspiring book that offers an amazing amount of ideas and encouragement, whether you have just a deck or patio, or a small front or backyard you want to turn into a personal retreat.… (plus d'informations)
Inspirational with its beautiful pictures, but almost totally lacking in how-to information. Its largely warm climate plant recommendations are no help for northern gardeners (the authors live in California). There is no list of resources for obtaining products shown in the book. More of a coffee table book than a useful gardening manual.
