{"product_id":"designing-creating-a-winter-garden","title":"Designing \u0026 Creating A Winter Garden","description":"To create a garden that gives pleasure throughout the year is the goal of every garden-maker. The greatest designers maintain that it is the garden in winter that sets the scene for the remainder of the year. Designing and Creating a Winter Garden takes the reader through the process of designing a new garden from scratch or re-working an existing garden, with winter as the key, formative season. The first part of the book deals with design considerations and ideas, including:  assessing the site and its opportunities and constraints;  designing the basic framework for winter;  making use of low, winter light and using sparkling colour;  pots, containers and statuary in the garden, and finally the maintenance of the garden in winter. The second part comprises a detailed catalogue of suggested plants and their uses, grouped into:  evergreens;  winter-flowering trees, shrubs and perennials, including those that are strongly scented;  shrubs with coloured and textured bark and finally,  unusual, striking plants to use as focal points. This book sets out to inspire both garden designers and enthusiastic gardeners to create a garden that is as captivating in winter as it is during the remainder of the year.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57313417101694,"sku":"NW9780719840258","price":16.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780719840258.jpg?v=1778515161","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/designing-creating-a-winter-garden","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
