Garden design
Garden Design in Australia and New Zealand. By Mab Younger. Reed. 91 pp. Index, photographs.
Garden design is a subject on which most people have very Axed opinions, and those who want directions on how to lay out a whole section will need more specialised advice than is available in this book. However, readers who are simply interested in considering a few unusual ideas presented in a loose, chatty style will And a considerable variety of approaches to garden design in its most comprehensive sense (including paths, drains, wind resistance, Are risks, and retaining walls), all generously supplied with photographs and other illustrations. But more serious readers may be disappointed at the generally conservative view-point, the failure to treat New Zealand natives as a homogeneous group, and the very limited number of plant varieties that are actually named in the text.
