Don't be put off by the cover of this book. This is a book of inspiration, charm and glorious photographs, cleverly brought together by acclaimed garden writer Stephanie Donaldson. She shows you how to bring peace, cohesion and tranquillity to your garden, how to create a sheltered oasis in your busy life and a retreat to embrace at the end of the day. From basic design, Stephanie demonstrates how to turn an ordinary garden into one extra special. From plants with scent or sensory foliage to the gentle trickle of a water- feature and welcome shade, seating, screening and lighting are explored and explained and planting designs, easy and calming on the eye, displayed. With just a little careful planning, a peaceful garden can be yours, a place to escape the stresses of everyday living and a haven of tranquillity, be it Eastern exoticism or English country garden, no matter where you live. - Lucy Watson

Peaceful shapes and spaces: keeping it simple; symmetry and balance; contemplation and relaxation; special places. Tranquillity for the senses: soothing colours; soothing textures; light and shade. Scent and sound: fragrant plants; herbs; cool water and rustling breezes.
