My biggest disappointment was when I came to the end of this book! It is truly amazing in the range of ideas and photos it presents for different types of front yard gardens. I have already marked many favorite pages of things to use in my front space. Excellent read and well laid out - it takes a type of garden, gives examples pictorially and then has a summary at the end of each section on layout, types of plants etc. to make your front yard garden a success!
