Book Reviews of Planting Design Illustrated
Book Review: A good book for the reference shelf
Summary: 5 Stars
As a gardener, I'm always on the lookout for good books on plants and design - Planting Design Illustrated has both. Chen organizes his material on planting design in a straight forward and logical manner, moving from basic design concepts to analysis of actual gardens. He richly illustrates his text with drawings and pictures. The design student/landscape architect will find his analysis illuminating as he derives and illustrates universal concepts from his analysis. The ordinary gardener will like the history sections, discussion on contrasting gardens and the tables on plant symbolism. I'll keep this one on my reference shelf for a long time.
