Book May Have Recipe for Pie-Shaped Garden

Q: I have a wonderful pie-shaped spot for a garden. It receives full sun. The trouble is I’m a novice gardener with little imagination. Do you know a book that would have plot-plans for gardeners? I envision a cottage garden effect.

A: A book called “The Home Landscaper” by Ann Reilly and Susan Roth (Home Planners, Inc., $10.95) features 55 detailed plot-plans including some cottage gardens. In addition, there are easy to follow instructions on garden installation and tips on landscape design.
