Features: With the continuous upgrading of China's "Urban Beautification Movement," community gardening, and garden villa environmental beautification, the "flower border" as one of the unique plant landscape forms in Western gardens is increasingly favored by the Chinese. The new work "Flower Border Designer" by renowned British landscape architect Richard Bird provides urban designers and gardening landscape workers with detailed professional knowledge on flower border construction, layout, and maintenance, along with numerous flower border design plans. From the scientific configuration of colors to the seasonal display of flower borders, and how to create themed flower borders using various flowers, the author explains in a (illustrated) manner, covering a wide range of flower border styles—from Mediterranean, waterside, rural, to low and easily maintained flower borders for the disabled. The book includes over 150 color photographs and hand-drawn illustrations, making it an invaluable resource for gardeners, landscape architects, urban designers, and all those involved in the field.
