Over the years, landscaping (decorating) of our outdoor "room" has become a major point of interest and pride. There was a time when we believed we were nearing completion of our landscaping masterpiece. But a chance visit to a French country garden opened our eyes to new possibilities. This book demonstrates the evolution (the transition) of a Canadian urban garden and the sources of inspiration to make change. The authors hope that it will encourage readers to think afresh about their own garden plots and explore ways to create outdoor living spaces in which they can find solace and great joy.
