Garden design may seem demanding, difficult and exclusively for those with experience and a limitless budget, but Diarmuid Gavin thinks differently. The "infant terrible" of the garden design world, Diarmuid sets out to demystify the subject and push back the boundaries of garden style. Viewing the garden as another room for your house, Diarmuid shows how to create a garden to reflect your own personality. Chapters include: Choice and inspiration combining what you require and what you desire and where to look for inspiration; Materials and colour shapes and structures for your 'room outside' and how to use colour in the garden; Project planning planning ahead, working through the stages and where to turn for advice along the way; Plant essentials preparing soil and considering position, light, water and wind; and Building lines using fences and walls to enhance your design.
