This is the best of Durie’s books and is an excellent companion for the California garden designer. The plans are helpful for understanding the layout of a garden, but the photos are what really make the book. The light modern style, clever detailing, and CA compatible plants give me new ideas every time I open it.

What Jamie does is just amazing. This was obviously earlier in his career and completed in Australia.
If you are looking for overall design ideas this is great. If you are looking for planting ideas for the USA
I would not look here.

A definite must have. This is by far one of the best inspiring books for outdoor designs. If you are looking for something modern, minimalist, different from ordinary, don’t look any further and buy this book. I designed my own terrace thanks to the great ideas and inspiration by Jamie Durie.

I’ve bought that book ’cause I’m planning to transform a small corner of my garden into a nice patio. But this book is about balconies, sky gardens, decks, pools, back yards, seaside retreats, etc…Nothing about patios!!! If you’re looking for ideas for your patio, this probably isn’t a good book for you.

This book is an excellent sourse of inspiration for the garden designer who is tired of traditional garden design. Jamie Durie explores new materials and plant selections in a way that is comfortable and exciting. A must read for those of us who are tired of English garden design!
