Bratři Richovi, známí z televizního pořadu o proměnách zahrad, přistupují k zahradní tvorbě moderně a s lehkostí – jimi vybudované zahrady vypadají, jako by je stvořila sama příroda. Proto je tato kniha o projektování a plánování zahrad tak výjimečná – ukáže vám, jak získat odstup a nadhled, vnímat krajinu a jak přenést její otisk na svůj pozemek. Pomocí náčrtků, kreseb a fotografií vysvětluje, jak důležité je při tvorbě chápat kontrast, rytmus a gradaci, jak se nechat inspirovat konkrétním místem a samozřejmě jaké vhodné květiny pro danou krajinu zvolit. Kniha je určená nejen pro ty, kteří svou zahradu teprve plánují, ale i pro ty, kteří chtějí do té své již existující přinést o trochu víc krásy a harmonie.
