About this product
Product Information
For too long, garden design has focused on architecture, artifice, and arbitrary principles. The uninspried results are soulless landscapes where plants play subordinate roles. "Plant-Driven Design" proposes a new philosphy: a knowledge and passion for plants must come first. This revolutionary book argues that plants are the cornerstone of a great garden and only when they are given the respect they deserve will a garden truly come alive.
