Doreen,
I love the book Easy Garden Design by
Janet Macunovich, Storey Books. Janet lives, gardens and writes in SE
Michigan.
The book provides a logical, step-by-step
(there are twelve), easy to understand way to design a small to large
colorful, practical garden space. It is perfect for beginners, but works
for anyone. The focus of the book isn't individual
plants, specific structures, focal points or a certain look or style,
instead it describes the basics of creating a great garden with a "you
can do it" attitude. It also includes common sense elements like
appropriate size, style, location, color, soil, texture, intended use and
level of maintenance desired. Drawings and down-to-earth (pun intended) writing
make it a joy to read and follow to create a dream garden to fit the
individual.
