I’ve read dozens of encyclopedia-sized books, scoured the web day and night and logged six years of trial and (mostly) error—so you don’t have to!
Do you picture yourself sitting outside surrounded by gorgeous blooms… but, no matter how many plants you add to your garden, it ends up feeling like a blobby mess?
If that’s the case, the missing puzzle piece is most likely landscape layering. I know it was for me! I also know that a lush, abundant garden of your dreams IS possible when you understand how to layer plants.
And, no. This eBook is not just a bunch of pretty pictures. In the 110 pages of this easy-to-follow guide, I’ll share with you my formulas and expert tips for creating lush layers of plants that both stand out and work together for a dynamic and inviting landscape that’s “uniquely you.”
My goal was to make this eBook both comprehensive AND doable, so it’s the only garden design book you’ll ever need to read.
$20.00
"This was a helpful primer on landscape design and well worth the price IMO. The graphics illustrating landscape layering are terrific - detailed enough to give guidance, yet not overwhelmingly complicated. ...I’ve not seen another gardening book that is this clear."
For just $20.00!
"I know a lot about plants, how to grow them, propagate them, what they require to thrive. What I found with your book is the art, the design principles. I really needed the visuals that you created to show me the art part. It was like unlocking a log jam. It seemed to be the piece I was missing. Thank you."
Here are all of the topics covered in the eBook

"I love this book and my only sadness is that I had never seen it before I tackled my square, untouched garden. I have spent a lot of money and time over a 3 year period and I just wish I had seen your book before I started.........it is great and I have a lot of work ahead, undoing, where possible, my mistakes."
"...This guide provides the gardener with some practical tips, and reminds us to slow down and think things through to a avoid making expense and time-consuming planting errors. There is always some trial and error in a garden, but using the guidelines of putting the trees, evergreens, shrubs first will make things go much smoother."
"I love this e-book. I appreciated all the tips, tricks, design ideas and other thorough information it covers. We have heavy clay and lots of rocks which makes gardening hard work, so I especially loved the information on raised beds without digging."
"The planting pyramid put everything into perspective for me. I was basically starting at the wrong end—thinking color, flowers, grasses. It was like trying to accessorize before I had decided on a dress!"
"I have read your book several times. I use it a lot and it is really helpful. Your background as a graphic designer makes you perfect for this. Gardening is painting with plants, after all. I am very glad to have found you."
No. Like a typical book, there is no support from the author when you purchase. But, you can enroll in one of my online garden design courses if you need such support. My signature course, Design Your 4-Season Garden, comes with email support and a private Facebook group where you can interact with myself and my students. You can read more about it here.
Yes, absolutely. This eBook is filled with garden design principles that are not tethered to any location or climate. You won't be told what to plant... you'll learn how to confidently choose your own plants.
All your gardening zone reveals is the average annual minimum winter temperature where you live. This information is provided on the plant tag so you know if it's too cold or too warm to grow it where you live. While it's important information to know, it's not garden design.
No, this is not a service I offer. If you do need help with landscape design, you'd be better served by a local landscape design professional who can visit your property and is familiar with the plants and conditions of your region. If you want to DIY your landscape, this eBook is a great starting point. Or you can check out my online courses. They're great for more visual learners.
There is a section in this eBook about garden styles which will help.
I also have a Garden Style Mood Board Workshop that is a great first step if this is the stage where you are. This workshop walks you through a system to clearly define your personal style and how you can translate that to your garden. By the end, you'll have the colors, materials, focal points, plants and style of your garden visually represented on one single page. It's a super helpful exercise to go through when you're feeling stuck and/or can't make sense of all of your ideas.
Yes, check out the Shop page to see some of my other eBooks, guides and printable templates.
No. Due to the nature of digital products, I do not offer refunds on digital products.

You can send an email to prettypurpledoor@gmail.com and myself or my team will get back to you.
