    • Unique perspective to help us connect to our outdoor spaces
Format: Hardcover
I have read many landscape books, but this one is my favorite because of her holistic approach. The author's aim is to help us to connect with our outdoor spaces. Her methodology is unique and inspiring. Instead of just planting a garden, I am inspired to slow down, really tap into my dreams and desires of how I would like to experience the outdoors around my home, come up with a plan and then implement it in stages. Very insightful. ... show more

    • Ideas for making your outdoor living space a real haven.

Beautiful pictures, great ideas, many suggestions. I would absolutely love to have my back yard look like the cover photo.

    • Exactly what I was looking for!
Format: Hardcover
This book is exactly what I was looking for! The photos and text in this book are informative and inspirational, but what makes this book stand out is the approach of the author. She helps you to identify your personal style and helps you to decide whether you want a front-and-center style of yard, one of overlapping circles, or the like. She challenges you to envision what you want--emotionally--from the garden you are creating, and to use techniques you would use inside your home. This book gave me the final push I needed to finally make sense of my own challenging front yard, and guess what? I love it! ... show more

    • HOME OUTSIDE: Creating the Landscape You Love
Format: Hardcover
I enjoyed this book and will, no doubt, read and re-read it many more times, as is my custom. It has knowledge of color, placement of plants and/or hardscape. Of particular interest to me was the last chapter, Little House in the Woods, which I found charming and helpful. However, my interest these days lies more in the area of the natural habitats of wildlife and while garden design is important, a natural habitat cannot retain a neatness and perfect look if it is to draw birds and butterflies and all the other small creatures who have been displaced due to overbuilding, forest fires, etc. Native plants can be placed in the same way ornamental and exotic plants are, however, so I believe "Home Outside" can be helpful to all gardeners. The pictures are beautiful and the text direct and clear. D.Reinert, Shawnee, Ks. ... show more

    • Fresh and delightful
Format: Hardcover
Home Outside is a great book. I am happy that we purchased it. We want to reinvent our yard with new priorities on edibles, pollinators and natives. We want it to be a refuge not just for us, but for the birds, the butterflies, and our friends, children and grandchildren. Julie has given us fresh ways of viewing our property and be able to actually utilize all of it (not just the house) to enrich our lives and the lives of others. Here is a quote form the book: "Home is the place where you feel safe and find refuge. Like being hugged by a loved one, encircling your house so that it feels enclosed brings a comforting sense of security to your property. Enclosing arms - walls,fences, screens, and hedges - mark and guard the territory around your home against intrusion from outside, while offering sanctuary and seclusion within". p. 106 Blessings, Sue ... show more

This book is really great for getting ideas for "outdoor rooms" which is something I love. If you can't find something you like in this book, you probably are really hard to please. I truly would recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors, and likes relaxing, and spending time in the great outdoors. ... show more

    • Great for inspiration AND how to
Format: Hardcover
I am a gardener for just two seasons now. Made some basic mistakes and looking to re-envision my property. Borrowed the book from the library. It is perfect for my needs. It has great photos, some before and after shots that demonstrate the design principles the author describes. I don't think I have seen another landscaping book that explains design in ways that a layman can understand. I have perused many garden/landscaping books, read a handful from cover to cover, and this one is one I will purchase for reference. ... show more
