excellent guide to color, seasons, soil, light
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I love this book-- it includes numerous unusual shrub varieties throughout and is organized in a way I find very useful in planning my garden-- sections on color include purples, silvers, variegated, etc and well as on plant combinations to make the most or colors. Sections on the seasons help plan for interest throughout the year, whatever the height and light conditions you are facing. Sections on soils and light help with grouping plants that will thrive better together. Throughout, suggested good companions of other shrubs or perennials are helpful and inspiring. The photos are gorgeous. As I continue planning, I keep coming back to different sections to inspire me with different plants I hadn't considered. While the information on planting, pruning, and other care for different shrubs is less extensive in many cases, notice is often given where a shrub is fussy, dislikes wet soils, or where blooms are delayed for several years, for example. This is an excellent book for helping you envision and plan-- or revamp-- your garden.
