Founder of the renowned English Gardening School in the UK, Alexander examines the many elements that contribute to an effective, enjoyable garden design. Her comprehensive approach begins with making a complete scaled site survey and taking stock of existing conditions such as soil, drainage, sunlight, views and surroundings. She then explains how to develop the design with ground-level, vertical and overhead elements including landscaping, plants, fences, paths, ponds and structures.

Along the way, readers learn various design skills from basic measuring and sketching techniques, to drawing detailed axonometric projections. Illustrated with sketches, diagrams and over 100 color photographs throughout.
