Drawing Material Textures from The Garden DIY Expert by Dr. D. G. Hessayon
It was considered that within the planter designs different textures and materials could be represented within these graphically.
The Garden DIY Expert contains information about garden construction as well as information about different features within a garden and materials used in the hard landscaping of garden design. It breaks down the processes of hard landscaping such as laying paths, ponds, patios etc allowing people to do this themselves.
Within the book it outlines different features within a garden such as paving, fencing, edging, paths and the materials used to create these and their different types. Drawings within the book illustrate the textures and forms of these different materials, with these being used a reference for a materials list that was compiled.
