Review: Great book...shows step by step how to do everything

Summary: Informative but Blurred
Review: I agree with the other reviewers that this book is very informative and helpful. However, if you also like gorgeous garden photos you're bound to be somewhat disappointed. There are lots of photos, but they aren't in sharp focus. Sometimes only one flower or a portion of a background picket fence is all that is sharply focussed. I understand blurring to accent a particular flower, but that is not what has been done here. It's more like the shots of middle-aged movie stars where close-ups are in soft-focus to soften their aging. Ridiculous there, very annoying in a book where you expect the photos to be outstanding. Still they show nice composition and groupings.

Summary: An excellent resource
Review: Unlike many gardening/landscaping books, this one has *specifics* about different projects, i. e., terracing hillsides, building paths, etc. Much information not found in other books.
