Book List:
Garden Design
My favorite books fall into this category, as they encourage you to imagine what you could
do . . . Again these titles are not directly aimed at exotic or tropical gardens/gardeners, but instead cover
the basic principles of design that can be applied to any garden.

Brookes has written many books, all of
which are good reading. This particular one has lots of case

Paul, Anthony
Creative Ideas for Small Gardens
HarperCollins, 1994. 0004129059
Originally from New Zealand, Anthony Paul uses
his experience to create effects with strong structural shapes and
good leaf interest. Some commissions from down under are used as
illustrations. This book has a little bit more for the palm enthusiast.
