If you’re planning on building a new garden, no matter how big or small including gardens made entirely in containers, the best place to start is with a landscape garden design book. A landscape garden design book will tell you how to check the area you plan to garden to determine:
1) Amount of sun and shade

2) Soil requirements

3) Mulch requirements

4) Amount of structure to provide

5) Spatial considerations for your garden

6) Problems with local pests

All of these garden specifics will help insure that the plants you put in your garden will have the best chance of survival.

Here’s my list of the best basic garden landscape design books and later I will provide some specific garden landscape design books. The basic garden landscape books have been around for years and so helpful they are still sold. The specific books provided later may come and go but if you look for one of the type you won’t be sorry.

Best Guide to Western Landscape : The Sunset Western Landscaping Guide

You may think that your little patch of desert or alpine cottage won’t be covered but you are wrong. This books covers the essentials above plus add local suggestions like the hanging egg chair for your garden, hanging flower pots and more.

Best Guide to Eastern Landscapes: The Creative Homeowner Southeast Home Landscaping

This book covers the southern parts of the US but not the northern and since I haven’t lived there I can’t make a recommendation. This guide provides sample garden designs , many of the above essentials and guides to basic structure creations such as building arbors and paths.

Best Guide to the Garden Design Process and Garden Plans

Ortho has two books “All About Landscaping” and “Flower Garden Plans” that introduce newcomers to gardening to the process of building a garden plan. The many garden plans they provide both in diagram and from pictures of gardens are wonderful input to building a beautiful garden.

BestShade Garden Design Book

“Gardening in Shade” from the American Horticultural Society is the best guide I found to how to plan a shade garden and which plants will grow in dry shade as well as wet shade-there is a big difference.

Best Herb Garden Design Book

Herbs are some of the best perennials for your gardens because they provide food for wildlife, are often drought tolerant and often adapt to many soil conditions. If you’d look bees, birds-especially seedeaters, dragonflies, and butterflies, consider an herb garden or herb additions to your garden design. I liked “The Herb Garden” by Sarah Garland best.

Best Border Book

Borders are gardens you plant at the edges of your yard or house and often have your cutting flowers or establish your style for your yard. “The Border Book” by Anna Pavord is my favorite because of the creative designs suited for a variety of garden conditions.

Best Arid Garden Book

Waterwise Florida Landscapes is a free booklet put out by the Florida Water districts to encourage people to use plants to help reduce their watering requirements during drought times. This excellent pamphlet provides only one design but contains many helpful hints for creating a drought tolerant garden including many of the drought tolerant plants.

Traveling is one of the joys of life. It gives me time to relax and enjoy the world around me. I try to avoid any type of stress when I am traveling and that includes the luggage that I carry. About ten years ago I was planning a months trip to Europe. I knew I had to find some good luggage for my long distance travel. I went to different stores and online websites to find the perfect luggage for me. A pair of luggage that I discovered and have enjoyed is the Kono large hard shell suitcase. I like the Samsonite Echelon Luggage for many reasons.

The Kono large suitcase is a simple two set luggage piece that has enough space for everything that I want. I felt that I really didn’t need to buy a five-piece luggage set to satisfy my needs. After all I have only two hands not five. The Kono suitcase has an up right piece of luggage that you can pack all your clothes and shoes. It even has an area that you can pack a few items with a hanger. It zips up to close and comes with a lock to ensure the safety of your belongings. I don’t ever have to worry about someone breaking into my luggage. This luggage has wheels and a handle piece on the top so you could pull it as your walking. This helps reduce stress and tension on the entire body. I use to get back and neck aches from having to carry my luggage this no longer happens with the Kono. The Kono Luggage measures 25 ½” X 16 ¾” X 8 ½” hopefully I measure it correctly if not perfectly I know it is around that measurement.

The Kono suitcase comes with a tote that you can pack additional items. I usually pack my shaving cream, blow dryer; make up and other little personal things that are not clothes in the tote. The tote measures about 16 ½” X 11″ X 7″ inches. It is a good size tote that can be carried on the plane.

I got my Kono K2092 Luggage at Macy’s. I got the luggage on sale for about 89 euro not including the tax. The luggage piece comes with a ten-year warranty so if you have any problems it could be fixed for free. I have used my luggage piece for many years and it is still in excellent condition. I would recommend the Kono suitcase to anyone who needs a good pair of luggage for traveling.
