Garden design & planning; Natural & wild gardening

Informative and full of inspiration, this bestselling garden design guide, by award-winning landscape designer Xanthe White, has been revised and refreshed with new material for a contemporary take on the natural garden.

With a new foreword by acclaimed garden designer and author Dr. Noel Kingsbury, this revised edition of The Natural Garden builds on Xanthe White's signature landscape design with contemporary updates.

Xanthe shares her design philosophy of nurturing a respectful and sustainable relationship with the natural world, and how her signature style can be applied to flower, native, rural, dry, inner city, productive, subtropical and coastal gardens. Warmly and expertly written, The Natural Garden features updated information to reflect the modern urban garden, including indoor and community gardens. Lavishly illustrated with inspiring photos, hand-drawn garden plans, up-to-date plant recommendations for each garden type, and growing and composting advice, it's almost as good as having Xanthe call round for a consultation.
