Seasoned landscape architect Susan Morrison draws on her decades of experience to offer an ideal tool for creating a perfect outdoor space for your unique setting and needs. This richly visual book starts from the essential question, “what do you want from your yard” and breaks down the steps of design from vision to materials to plants, leading you to a series of approachable goals, not overwhelm. Example gardens include meditative sanctuary, entertaining, family spaces to grow along with children, all with inspiring and thoughtful details. She, of course, she emphasizes plants with loads of useful advice on choice and function. And, while less is more, her wisdom and generosity will lead you to your dream outdoor space no matter how big, or small, your project.
