Overview

A stunning collection of unique gardens, Patio is 200 pages of inspiration and a hint of DIY, with a very personal touch from Jamie Durie. Jamie is currently hosting Top Design on Channel 9 and continues to go from strength to strength in the arena of garden design. Durie's pick of gardens spans from magnificent landscapes on a grand scale to inner-city courtyards and balconies. This sourcebook of ideas is illustrated with over 180 gorgeous colour photographs as well as plans and sketches. Durie walks the reader through each garden, with a discussion of its inspiration and all its elements - water, plants, lighting and much more. He also provides design and horticultural tips to help you create what you see on the page in your own backyard, and gives an intimate insight into his personal favourites and obsessions.
