Garden design has come a long way in recent years and we now have a plethora of books on contemporary garden design. But there are still some ground rules to apply when going for a 'modern' look to your garden. The first being that you cannot get away from the fact that the choice of plants will have to suit your soil, site and weather conditions. Choosing particular plants because they look good in a magazine that you have browsed will not necessarily offer the best solution. Good contemporary garden design can be matched with careful selection of plants, such as grasses of which, some like it dry, while others require moisture.

From standing stones to gentle running garden water rills to grand Italianate pools, water flowing brings movement and sound to the garden. Whatever your budget or style a garden water feature can be installed to add some magic to your garden. The photographs show some of the water features that have been designed and installed by Barry Holdsworth.

A greenhouse is an asset to any garden and essential to many for the propagation of seeds and plants and for providing suitable growing conditions for a wide range of plants that would be unable to survive in the external environment. In order to obtain maximum benefit from a greenhouse it is necessary to understand certain factors when embarking on the construction, equipping of and working within a greenhouse. It is important that as much light as possible enters the greenhouse, therefore consideration as to the position of the structure is required.
