A garden, whether small or large, is made up of many different elements and details. Grouping these design elements is like a recipe: choosing a balance of the right details creates a perfect garden in any space.

Garden Details breaks down the elements of garden design and shows how each can be used to create unique garden spaces. It includes ideas for a multitude of garden elements – from distinctive stonewalls and manicured formal lines to artistic whimsy and colour-coordinated borders – in a variety of garden types ranging from water gardens through to drought-tolerant dry gardens.

Marg Thornell’s sumptuous photographs transport you from one garden to the next – in locations as diverse as Australia, England, Europe and the United States – and reveal how to make the most of your own garden space.

This valuable sourcebook can be used in many ways: from browsing for inspiration with nothing particular in mind to a more purposeful search to help with a particular project on the drawing board.

Garden Details is a book to immerse yourself in – to motivate you to create the garden paradise you want and deserve. Whether you are a complete novice or a professional landscape designer, Garden Details will provide you with all the ideas and inspiration you need to make your garden truly spectacular.
