 A Pattern Garden 12/2008
I found this book strangely unsatisfying. Fourteen "essential patterns" (what most of us might call garden elements or techniques or considerations) are introduced. In the course of which such things as dividing a garden into rooms, the use of paths, garden art and so forth are discussed, but the discussion seemed strangely superficial and the writing style at times annoying. Page 24 for example: "Maybe the key to quantum physics lies in planting a perennial garden."
For a more down to earth discussion of garden design I would recommend Joe Eck's Elements of Garden Design, which maybe one of the finest books on the subject.
 The Zen of Pattern Gardens
Zen of Watering Your Garden
This is a terrific book. I t helps one tailor their garden or gardens to their circumstance with the goal not really an architectual wonder but a place or places of solitude and sanctuary and pleasantries.
I believe that one does not have to have an elaborate garden but can with even a plant or a few plants obtain the peace that nature can provide. I too have tried to convey this in my book the Zen of Watering Your Garden. Matt Cohen
A Pattern Garden Success
If you have been gardening for a while and still do not have the results you want, this might be the book for you. I am a self taught gardener of 17 years and have purchased many gardening and landscaping books. This book is by far the best one I have bought. It is very easy to read, and explained all the gardens elements so simply I couldn't believe it. It helped me figure out (very quickly} exactly what has always bothered me about my garden. The chapter on plant selecting does not specify the zone.
Valerie's new book is brilliant
Whether one is an experienced gardener, or new to this world, Valeries's book explores all the nuances of garden design as well as practical information on gardening. All of this is enhanced by the exquisite photographs.
Creating Gardens Where We'll Love to Spend Time
Thanks to Val Easton's new book, A Pattern Garden, I'll be happily adding mysterious destinations and some fanciful surprises to my old garden this summer. Fun!
This is such a good book; it's informative, beautiful (inspiring photography), but best of all are it's suggestions and encouragement for gardeners to turn their yard space into intriguing areas where they and their families will love spending outdoor time.
