Customer Reviews

Very helpful book with great ideas
I haven't finished reading it yet but so far love it. It has many photos along with a paragraph about why/how this works - the type of landscape and things to make sure you do/don't do. I am buying a copy for my sister for xmas.

Great inspiration
This is a wonderful book with beautiful photos and great ideas. It is not a how to book, but it does inspire!

Good choice!
I'm satisfied. More than enough pictures with detailed analysis for each. There is nothing missing.
