How to Choose the Perfect Garden Style for Your Home

The second in our series on ‘How to Lay out a Garden’ in which we discuss what factors, relating to your house and it’s location, should influence the style of your garden.
We take advice from a beautiful book from 1858 by Edward Kemp, Landscape Gardener, which shares valuable insights for the modern gardener. I also use the following books to offer advice to those beginning the process of designing and creating their dream garden! I hope you find it helpful.
