WHAT MAKES A GARDEN, a considered approach to garden design by Jinny Blom will propel you into a romantic world of natural beauty. Jinny is a profoundly sensitive designer who lets the landscape speak to her in a deeply meaningful and spiritual way.

Her work, her writing and her process touch your inner self and are uniquely her–evocative and wild. This is not intended as a book of rules but rather a way of thinking about garden design and making sure it responds to the particularities of place, the culture and the demands of the client. Jinny is a very thoughtful gardener who creates the most beautiful gardens we have ever seen. This book, published by Frances Lincoln, is filled with dazzling color photos. This is one of the year’s most engrossing, thought-provoking books, a must for gift-giving.
