If you are clueless about designing a garden or doing landscaping, it's difficult to imagine a better introductory book that this very inexpensive one by Peter Owen.  It's obvious from the initial chapter that he has the experience required to write such a book.  It's packed with useful information and photos.  It covers both hard-scape and soft-scape and such specific topics as soil acidity, sun, drainage, safety, edging, retaining walls.  Since I've been thinking about doing more with my own property, I was excited to find and read this book.
