This text describes in detail how to create your own "heaven on earth" in the garden: a place of sanctuary, rest or meditation to enjoy and be at peace in. Both practical and informative, each chapter opens with an introduction to a specific garden style, describing well-known gardens and their qualities. The author follows with a step-by-step guide to setting up and creating a special garden within a defined area; what plants are needed; what space is required; what basic features the garden needs; and what extras are needed such as garden furniture.
