  Your home is where you live and should be the place where you feel most comfortable and relaxed. Find out how to make your garden an extension of your home - an open, green room that you can organize just the way you want, where you can sit in peace and enjoy the interplay of colours and shapes. Here, four garden styles are discussed at length: the minimalist garden, the cottage garden, the classic garden and the eclectic garden. All are described in terms of basic planting schemes, pavings and enclosures, light and colour. The chapter on gardening techniques provides basic information from which bag of soil is suitable to which plants flourish where. There are ideas for the complete newcomer to the veteran.
