Description
Do you want your outdoor space to look as stylish and well-designed as your home? RHS Design Outdoors will give you the ideas and know-how you need to make that happen.
Award-winning designer Matt Keightley has curated a collection of 35 gardens, created either by him or by other leading contemporary designers, that will provide the inspiration to transform your outdoor space. Gardeners featured include award-winning designers Jo Thompson, Tom Stuart Smith, Tony Woods, Charlotte Rowe, and Andrew Wilson. For each case study, there is a detailed plan, information on the plants and materials used, and a wealth of gorgeous photography by leading garden photographer Marianne Majerus.
The designs are organised into five categories:
- Showstoppers at Home - high-design concepts that are nonetheless achievable;
- Family-friendly - gardens that incorporate play areas and socialising;
- Minimalist - spaces with larger areas of hard landscaping and bold, restrained planting;
- Plants First - gardens where more than half of the outdoor space is planted;
- Other Spaces - roof terraces, basement areas, and front gardens.
This wide array of garden styles means that there is inspiration for all types of garden and for all types of gardener.
