  • Urban settings
Format: Hardcover
It's a beautiful book but almost entirely deals with very urban settings. Not much about suburban back yards.

  • Disappointed
Format: Hardcover
The book has lovely pictures and design tips but no information about the plants... like what their names are. How can you plan your garden/patio if you don't know what the plants are? I will return this book.
