Garden design books

[cwr]

Hi all

Has anyone any recommendations for garden design/landscaping books? 

I could do with starting to thinking about and researching how we convert our outside space into a garden, so want to collect some sources of ideas etc to flick through.

Thanks

I would recommend that BBC Gardeners World forum.

As to books, I'll leave that to others - except to suggest that you go and look for lots of second hand D G Hessayon (The XYZ Expert) on ebay or in charity shops.

 

He sold 50 million of the various things, so there should be a lot available.

 

eg Bundle of nine.

Alternatively, there are lots of other bundles on ebay of all sorts.

 

I'd say that way on rather than start shelling out at £20-30 per pop/.

I have got rid of most of my books.  On Line resources are so good these days, they just seem a waste of space.

Charity shops are good for books, and I have hours of fun mixing them up to make inappropriate words from the titles.

Shall see if I can make 'Joy of Gardening'.
