Dream Gardens explores twelve dream gardens in challenging spaces, from tiny plots in the inner city, suburban blocks, sandy seaside properties to expansive country acreages. Michael McCoy, well-known garden designer and host of popular Australian TV series Dream Gardens (in which the book's twelve gardens also feature) shows us the challenges and the solutions for creating beautiful functional gardens. By drawing on great garden design each garden finds the perfect solution. In each challenging case, a beautiful garden is created to meet their owners needs. Dream Gardens explores the central ideas of garden design, and illustrates, with stunning photography, how we can use design to make simple changes to our gardens to enjoy beautiful and functional living spaces. The book also features interviews with well-known garden designers, including Fiona Brockhoff and Paul Bangay, discussing their featured gardens.
