The Art of Japanese Gardens: Designing & Making Your Own Peaceful Space

Rating:
Summary: Really Good
Review: I sent this book as a present for my sister and she loved it. Presently, she is studying landscape engineering. We are both of the opinion that this would assist both the beginner and more advanced landscape students. Not only does it have great ideas, but it expresses it from both visual and written perspectives. This is highly recommended.

Summary: There is no how-to section on designing and making...
Review: Take a peak at the excerpt provided. you will notice some acer palmatum japanese maples, in a section for cedar fences, for bamboo fences, fence railing. A back section for plant common and latin names. The are some very rough hand drawings no diagrams. Take a look at the index, look for the words "designing", "making", "creating", or "building".

Coffee table book...get it.
Sunset or Ortho type...don't.
