As Heard on The Daily Gardener Podcast:
Garden Design Workbook by John Brookes
This book came out in 1994, and the subtitle is A Practical Step-by-Step Course.
Well, this book is a garden classic. It's an oldie but goodie. And if you're just starting out in garden design, this is really a book that you should have.
John is a master designer. His book includes many helpful hints and instructions for creating practical designs for your garden.
I first bought this book when I became interested in landscape design in the early 2000s. My copy is dog-eared and all marked up, and flipping through the pages was a little bit of a trip down memory lane.
This book has 72 pages of information on how to design a garden, including how to draw a garden and the basic principles of structure. If you want to learn how to draw designs for your garden, John's book is precisely what you're looking for.
