Landscaping With Nature by Jeff Cox (1996, Paperback)

Jeff Cox's book, Landscaping with Nature is a refreshing viewpoint for gardeners and landscape enthusiasts. His approach is to work within nature, adding emphasis to natural settings in your garden design. This book clearly details how to design and maintain your garden to appear as though natural beauty has simply blossomed forth in your private spaces.

Mr. Cox begins by teaching us how nature's beauty is presented to us, and through learning these principles, we then are able to transform our gardens into the tranquil zones often found in the natural landscape. Landscaping with Nature's chapters also include vivid garden photos and many illustrations for various landscape forms and planters. Mr. Cox goes further to offer a splendid array of planting material information for any garden. Maintenance, pruning and adding garden ornaments to your spaces are also discussed.

Landscaping with Nature is an in-depth guidebook for everyone seeking more balanced and understated appeal for their garden. I recommend it highly.
