Garden Planning Resources

{image via Haskell Tech}

While researching gardening layouts, I collected resources to share. Below you will find likes to books, magazines, blogs, and suppliers that will help you research, design, and start a beautiful garden. I’ve also included a few images from the Japanese Garden in Portland, one of the most beautiful public gardens in the States.
