Brian J Huntley’s Kirstenbosch Recommended for Garden Design Inspiration

In an article for the Weekend Argus, Kay Montgomery has suggested some starting points for those planning their gardens for the year ahead. Landscape design shows are useful for gathering ideas as they reveal trends for the upcoming year, Montgomery says. She also recommends Brian J Huntley’s newly published book, Kirstenbosch: The most beautiful garden in Africa, for garden design inspiration:

Cape Town – January is the time to sit back and gaze at your garden. Look carefully at the way you have designed your beds and planted up the borders, and consider what you might do differently this year.

Each year, landscape design shows reveal design trends for the upcoming year. Many gardeners look to the Chelsea Garden Show to glean the latest garden design trends, and this year’s 100th show (May 21-25) is set to be a major event on the international gardening calendar.
