"A collection of 20 small garden projects, including both private and public ones, as categorized in the two parts, plus four essays written by excellent landscape architects, sharing their personal experience in designing such gardens. Different styles are included, such as natural style, Japanese zen style, modern elegant style, Chinese style, retro style, and English style that combines modern and traditional characteristics. Here you will find low-maintenance gardens where native plants are used, modern Mediterranean style courtyards, joyful and intimate roof gardens... High-resolution photos, drawings, designer’s narratives, and in particular, plant design schemes and plant lists, are presented for your reference. Hopefully the all_x005f_x0002_round display of the garden design will bring you valuable inspiration."
