Are you looking for a complete guide on landscaping and gardening design? Then keep reading... Once the homework has been done, it is now time to start to think about designing your new landscape. You can proceed one of two ways from here. You can take your plot plan and ideas to a professional or you can go through the design process yourself. Most people start here without doing the homework that you just read about. This is a big mistake because all truly good design must accommodate the items that we cannot change.If you decide to proceed on your own at this point, I have listed a few ideas and recommendations below.I would like to say just a few words on the subject at this point in the process. I am a landscape architect by trade. I am not a plumber, mechanic or electrician. My wife will surely tell you that I am not a painter or an accountant. My point is that we all have our areas of expertise. IF you are not comfortable in the next step or you feel overwhelmed by all the choices of plants, mulches and hardscape treatments, then you should engage a professional in the green industry at this point. This book covers: The Fundamental Of Landscape Design Knowing Everything Before To Start Land Scape Design Guidelines Low-Cost, Easy Raised Beds For Your Landscaping Garden Design: The Main Components Plant Design Overview Tree's And Flowers For Your Landscaping Design The Social And Small City Garden Design Landscape Styles For Different Environment Kinds The Garden Country Style Mine Blowing Landscaping Ideas ...And MoreYou could hire a landscape architect, landscape designer, or nurseryman to help you with your plans. The first two will probably charge a consultation fee. The nurseryman may or may not (if you buy the plants from his establishment). This is money and time well spent. The information that you have previously gathered will make their job extremely easy. This is their area of expertise and armed with the information that you have gathered, they should be able to generate some pretty amazing results in just an hour or so. Who to choose? Here is where you need to do some homework again.It has been my experience over the years that nurserymen tend to design landscapes that are "plant heavy". It makes sense since they are in the business of selling plants. Some landscape architects are too "plant light" resulting in sometimes sterile results. The designer that mixes an appropriate amount of plants, lawn and architecture to satisfy your requirements in an aesthetic manner IS the person you want. You can find the right professional by asking neighbors, looking at landscapes that are appealing to you, and visiting nurseries in the area. Ask if different designers have web sites and view them.Whichever path you take during the design process, please take the time to do your homework before beginning. I cannot stress the idea enough that an informed designer will create a wonderful, and functional landscape almost always.Want more about this book? BUY NOW!

DID YOU KNOW THAT MORE THAN 80% OF BOOKS ABOUT GARDEN DESIGN ARE HARMFUL TO BEGINNERS?... The majority of garden design and landscaping books are good, but too difficult and technical and, above all, they provide sector-specific information that doesn't give you an overview of the process of creating a garden design necessary to understand how to apply it. Although garden design books contains much information, 73% of the readers considers them really confusing. Do you know why? Many books only focus on a specific area of the process of garden's creation, giving you lot of information, which is often too difficult and expensive for a beginner.

In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
