[.ca] Patio: Garden Design & Inspiration (ISBN 1865087874)

Must-read for garden design:
I must admit that I wasn't expecting much from Jamie Durie, knowing him mainly for his home renovation shows in Australia. However, after much searching through countless books on garden design in bookstores, I found his books to be far and away the best I've seen. His designs are very modern and innovative and the book gives a lot of insight into the design and construction process. Backgrounds and reasoning on particular choices made and goes into detail on subjects such as lighting, plants and materials. I own quite a few garden design books and I would definately rate this the best I've seen and just about every design in his books I would rate amongst the best I've seen.

A more elegant modern:
This book is an excellent sourse of inspiration for the garden designer who is tired of traditional garden design. Jamie Durie explores new materials and plant selections in a way that is comfortable and exciting. A must read for those of us who are tired of English garden design!
