I would like to share on landscaping books. This might turn handy for those who want to build their landscape project.
"Landscape Planning" - Judith Adam
This is the most popular book in the bookstore right now. Contains colourful pictures. In the first chapther, writer distinguishes between gardeing and landscaping. There are four chapters in this book.
Let us share all the interesting books on landscaping! :D
Black & Decker's "The Complete Guide to Creative Landscapes" by David Beaulieu is a good book as well. He tried to convey his idea by using a term of "outdoor home" for landscaping. Grass as the floor, fence as the wall and so on. Interesting reading as if we are building another home instaed of landscape. Give it a try.
I would like to share this book : "Ortho's All About Flowering Trees and Shrubs" by Michael McKinley.
This book is suitable for beginners and it features lots of photos, more than words. This book is a guide to selecting, planting and growing the most sought-after plants in the gardening world. Some of the features are : Seasonal Drama; Vivid Colour; Top-Rated Selections; Landscape solutions for colour in every season; Expert growing tips to enjoy blooms for a lifetime; Comprehensive guide to 400 dazzling trees and shrubs.
A great book for those who like photos ;)
