Garden Refresh

Garden designer Kier Holmes offers a practical route to a yard that looks polished, supports healthy living, yields something useful, and stays friendly to both your budget and the planet. Her tone is direct and lively, and she walks readers through the full process so the finished garden is one they can actually use, linger in, and enjoy.

The book is full of hundreds of tips on layout, plant selection, and fixing the troublesome spots that most gardens develop. It also explains which hard features, such as paving and structures, are worth spending more on, helps readers decide where to begin, and shows how smart design can reduce ongoing upkeep. Written to be a reference readers return to, it collects the kind of behind-the-scenes ideas professionals tend to rely on.
