This sourcebook is essential for anyone seeking garden design inspiration. Featuring hundreds of color illustrations by renowned photographer Andrea Jones, it presents thousands of design solutions from gardens worldwide, including America, France, Sweden, Germany, Holland, and England, crafted by top garden designers.

The first section focuses on garden details, highlighting design features that serve as connectors or dividers. It covers basic elements like lawns and gravel gardens, as well as paths, steps, gates, and bridges. The "Divide" section explores features that create distinct areas within gardens, including hedges, walls, fences, and various types of beds and borders. The third chapter examines different types of spaces—urban and rural, large and small, high and low. The final chapter delves into diverse garden styles, from minimal and geometric to exotic and contemporary. With comprehensive directories of designers, garden centers, and public gardens, this book is poised to become a definitive guide for modern garden design ideas.
