| 3.Around The World In 80 Gardens by: Monty Don, Montagu Don January 25, 2008 |

List Price: £20.00 Gardening BookSale's Price: £11.99 You Save: £8.01 (40%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.80 |
| I'm an admirer of Monty Don and I enjoyed the TV series this book is based on. But the book is far too sketchy to be satisfying; there's simply not enough material here, not enough photographs, too few insights.
If this is an Around the World trip, it's one of those lightning coach tours full of camera snapping tourists ("If it's Tuesday it must be Paris"). Worth a read, but not worth the asking price. As someone has commented before, just borrow it from the library; the publishers have let Monty down with this one. |

| This book covers all phases of garden design, from original research, obtaining the owner's requirements, site survey sketch, checklist and inventory, to conceptual diagrams, presentation plans, theme plan, preliminary garden layout plan and final planting plans.
It discusses space, light, proportion and scale, colour plates, ground plane, vertical plane, overhead plane, materials, texture, principles of planting design, planting styles, practical considerations, seasonal effects, and rendering techniques for various plans. It also has a plant list and plant hardiness zones at the end. This is one of few books that actually discuss the design aspect of gardens / landscaping. Very practical!

| I have to agree with "bookworm1973" that it "will need supplementing". But this is not a bad thing or a fault with the book. This is not a "what to plant where" type book or a comprehensive list of Latin named plants. No, it is a yearly garden maintenance manual.
It is a very easy book to read. There are no individual chapters on planting, lawn care, pests, vegetables etc. There are just twelve chapters. Each chapter is a title of a month. So you don't read the book from cover to cover, instead you turn to chapter "June" on the first day of June. Each chapter has a one-page checklist of garden tasks covering lawn care, pests, planting, vegetables etc. for just that month. The rest of the chapter covers the checklist in more detail. What to ... Read More |

| Most of gardens of the world can be put into two major categories: formal gardens and naturalistic gardens. The formal gardens are represented by Egyptian gardens, Persian gardens, Islamic gardens, Italian gardens, French gardens, and some American gardens, etc. The naturalistic gardens are represented by some famous English gardens, Chinese gardens, and Japanese gardens, etc.
If you mention English gardens, most people will think of large areas of lawns, trees, garden architecture, lakes and sky. These are the basic elements of a typical English landscape garden. "The English Garden" covers not only the typical and well-known English landscape gardens, but also formal garden layout ("formal bones"), country gardens, kitchen gardens and contemporary ...

| Mr Brookes, has an artist's understanding of garden forms world-wide. Not pedantic, many lovely photos, ideas, plant recommendations. Some confusion over common names but he also provides the taxonomic (Latin) names. Master gardeners and enthusiatic amateurs will appreciate. Since buying his book and that of Made Wijaya (Tropical Garden Design), Ive always looked forward to my weekends which are mostly spent in my one acre garden in Mauritius. I like his approach to garden plans and find it a useful guide in designing my own. A life changing book? Certainly ! |

| Buy this book even if you are not in need of ideas-it is a joy to browse through! Beautifully illustrated with photographs and water coloured drawings and with clearly laid out design plans, it is inspirational. There are no lumps of concrete or rusted metal here---just exquisite, traditional, practical gardens for differing situations. |

| I bought this book as I'm a novice to greenhouse gardening. This book is a must for others like me. It is written in an easy to understand manner and is structured so that you can pick out the sections you want or need without having to wade through endless pages of the stuff you don't want - not that there are any pages in the book that are surplus to requirements! The illustrations and photographs are very helpful too. The author doesn't use jargon or techno speak beyond the understanding of beginners and manages to instill the belief that greenhouse gardening is quite achievable for anyone who wants to have a go. Full of tips on what you need and don't need to buy also. An excellent book overall. |
