Garden Design Book Recommendations

We recently posted about how it’s helpful to have ideas of what you’d like when you get in touch for a quote. If you’re keen to do your own research (and save booking a garden design package), here are some of our favourite books. These books feature a mix of planning, planting and inspiration with an emphasis on wildlife and sustainability 🌿

1. Garden Design Bible / Tim Newbury
   
   
2. Gardening for Mind Body & Soul / Annie Burdick
   
   
3. RHS Colour Companion: A Visual Dictionary of Colour for Gardeners / Dr Ross Bayton & Richard Sneesby
   
   
4. Sustainable Garden: Projects, insights and advice for the eco-conscious gardener / Marian Boswall
   
   
5. RHS Encyclopedia of Garden Design: Planning, Building and Planting your Perfect Outdoor Space / Chris Young
   ​
6. Planting for Wildlife: A Grower’s Guide to Rewinding your Garden / Jane Moore

Of course,  you'll also find lots of inspiration from real life gardens, magazines, Pinterest, gardening shows and more. These books are great for more details on how to plan what you want from your own space which makes it much easier for us to make it happen.
