Garden Design Made Simple -...
Gertrude Harris
Whether you have a sprawling backyard, a small patio, or a modest balcony, the space outside your door holds incredible potential. This book is here to help you unlock it—with confidence, creativity, and a sense of joy.
Garden design might seem overwhelming at first. With so many styles, plant choices, materials, and ideas out there, it’s easy to feel stuck before you even begin. That’s why this book was created: to simplify the process. No fancy jargon, no rigid rules—just practical guidance, inspiration, and straightforward steps to help you design a garden that truly reflects you.
A well-designed garden isn’t just about looks. It’s about creating a space that works for your lifestyle. Maybe you’re dreaming of a quiet retreat to relax with a book and a cup of tea. Or perhaps you want an inviting area to entertain friends and family, grow your own herbs and vegetables, or encourage pollinators and wildlife. No matter your goal, design is the bridge that brings your vision to life.
You don’t need to be an expert to create something beautiful. What you do need is a plan, a bit of patience, and a willingness to learn. This book will guide you through the process, from assessing your current space and identifying your goals, to choosing plants, designing layouts, and installing key features. Along the way, you’ll pick up basic design principles, practical tips, and plenty of ideas you can adapt to suit your unique space.
Think of this as your companion on the journey—not a rulebook, but a friendly roadmap. We’ll start with the basics, move into more detailed planning and design concepts, and finally explore how to bring your ideas to life, step by step. You’ll even find ideas for ongoing maintenance, seasonal care, and how to evolve your garden over time.
