“Dane Rose's book Marin Landscape Design is brilliant. In my experience teaching and coaching gardeners I have found photos and brief clear descriptions to be the most value. This book combines these elements of learning in a wonderful format so home owners, gardeners, designers and contractors can significantly improve their work. The photos alone are worth purchasing this book. There are so many beautiful gardens and the ideas for creative growing and living are superb. This book will have a prominent place on my extensive shelves of gardening books.”
“This book was very helpful as I was planning to landscape my backyard. With so many photos, there is lots of inspiration in this book. It helped me especially decide exactly how I wanted my patio to look and which plants to select for my Marin garden.”
“With this text, I really loved the fact that there are so many photographs you can examine to determine what you do and do not like in different categories such as walls, fences, gates and arbors, steps, mailboxes and a host of other projects you may be considering for your property. In my case, I really wanted a beautiful looking garden and was particularly interested in finding the right look for the garden in relation to the steps and mailbox. Not only did I discover what I was looking for with the pictures I examined, I also learned of several different plants that would look great in my garden. Furthermore, I saw a beautiful looking bench that would actually be very affordable to make for the garden, and there was a gorgeous stacking pot method I had never considered until I saw it in this book. The design principles discussed in the text are extremely helpful and allowed me to break down the big picture and little picture of what I was looking for. I also focused on the principle of minimum effort for maximum results. I’ve got to say, I really have learned a wealth of knowledge from this book. Not only is the text informative, but the many pictures of different projects in different categories will really allow you to zoom in on what exactly you want for your property. A must buy.”
