All gardeners dream of creating a garden that is
their vision of perfection - whether that is a
structured plot complete with ordered tree avenues and
immaculate rose beds, or a simple, inviting space for
unwinding or entertaining. But just how do you go about
turning that vision into reality? Matthew Wilson's

behind them can be translated to your garden at home. In

planting. Starting with the initial assessment and
planning stages, Matthew reveals the thinking that lies
behind great garden design. He discusses the issues that
preoccupy all gardeners: planning, providing for
different needs, maximising space and working with
nature. He goes on to show readers how to transform
their space, covering topics such as enhancing light
levels and choosing plants for colour, texture and form.
Alluring colour photography and detailed hand-drawn
plans act as inspirational visual references, while
straightforward action plans show you how to create your
perfect outdoor space.Providing all the ideas and
practical information that you need, Matthew Wilson's
Making A Garden is an informative, engaging and
