Synopsis 1000 Garden Ideas is every gardener’s dream-an unrivalled resource of ideas for every possible aspect of the garden shown through an archive of over 1000 beautiful photographs, including gardens from all over the world. Highly successful author and designer, Stafford Cliff has visited thousands of gardens in the course of his travels and, with his unique designer’s eye, has recorded the cleverest solutions and the most original choices. Here for the first time, he has brought these images together to form a complete sourcebook of ideas and reference. The result is a breathtaking kaleidoscope of inspiration and information to fascinate, inspire and enthral the reader. The pages offer a veritable design jigsaw that delights the eye with the quirky alongside the classic, the modern set against the traditional. For every decision that a new gardener has to make, for every change that an established gardener wishes to introduce, here is the complete range of choices. The plants, the path, the paving, the pots-they are all shown. And, as practical as it is fascinating, the book also includes a list of useful addresses so that readers can turn inspiration into reality.
