It blends practical advice with philosophical insights into the art and process of garden design. Blom emphasizes the importance of context—understanding the land, architecture, and natural surroundings before shaping a garden. She draws on her own experiences designing gardens around the world to illustrate how good design harmonizes with its environment, rather than dominating it. The book advocates for a sensitive, intuitive approach to gardening that values patience, observation, and sustainability. Rather than offering a strict how-to manual, it encourages readers to think deeply about the purpose and feeling of a garden space, making it both a design guide and a meditation on nature..
