Synopses & Reviews
Making a garden should be a deeply fulfilling experience, not an overwhelming one. And homeowners who lovingly update their interior space to reflect their personal style should be empowered to do the same with their exterior space. But where should they start?
In Cultivating Garden Style, Rochelle Greayer, garden designer and founder of the popular blog Studio 'G', shares ways to create outdoor areas that charm design sensibilities, are comfortable and appealing to personal tastes, and reflect individuality. It features 23 unique garden styles--including Enchanted Bohemian, Plush Modern, and Xeric Hacienda--that are accompanied by advice on how to recreate the look, simple step-by-step projects, and tips on how to find the plants, furniture, and accessories that make up each style. Thousands of dazzling color photos give the book a visual punch that speaks strongly to a generation of readers raised on design blogs and image-sharing sites like Pinterest and Houzz.
Cultivating Garden Style inspires readers to imagine something new for their outdoor space and provides everything they need to make it a reality.
