Renowned garden designer Gordon Hayward's newest book focuses on one major principle: creating front yard gardens that will inspire and invite, transforming neighbourhoods and encouraging people to create compelling spaces in which to relax, visit with neighbours, and enjoy a natural space. Hayward offers a step-by-step approach that starts by helping people find their "Big Idea," then guides the homeowner through the process of making all the smaller decisions. He also introduces fundamental garden design principles, illustrated throughout the book with beautiful photography and line drawings, allowing homeowners to effectively apply the ideas no matter where or in what type of climate they live. Feast on these lush photos with an open mind, you'll come away with an endless supply of ideas. The chapters in this book include: How to Look at Garden Images; The Driveway, Cars, and the Front Garden; The Path to the Front Door; A Lot of Lawn, A Little Lawn?; Gardens Between House and Sidewalk Fencing, Walls and Gates; and Sitting Areas in the Front Garden.
