Your Outdoor Room Reviews

"Your Outdoor Room is a beautiful and vibrant book, but as well as being a stunning addition to any coffee table, it's a really useful guide for any reader to be able to design their own garden. Each section is broken down in an easy and understandable way, making it really accessible to beginners. There's even a section on soil and aftercare, which are two aspects that can often be forgotten and which really showcase Manoj's expertise as a garden designer."
Nina Mason, Pro Landscaper

"Your Outdoor Room is one of the most beautiful and inspiring garden design books Ive ever read. Colourful ideas bust from the page with Manoj Malde guiding us through the process of creating a unique and beautiful outdoor space. We learn how to survey our plot, create a site plan, and design lighting and planting plans. Theres sections on working with nature, with information on making homes for pollinators and habitats for wildlife. Sustainability is highlighted with sections on upcycling and recycling. Instructions are clear and accompanied by good quality photos and diagrams. Manoj gives us all the expert hints and tips to make creating a garden a success. And his personality and enthusiasm is infectious! He gives us the ideas, and then tells us how to achieve the garden of our dreams. Highly recommended reading!"
