Customer Reviews

Practical and inspiring!
This book is worth every penny if you're designing your garden. It gives good advice and inspiration. Best of all are the plant and shrub lists: plants that have an extra in more than one season. One of the main advice in this book: if you have a small garden, choose shrubs that stay relatively small/medium and are special. This book guides you through deciding.

Seriously, when someone has a thousand gardening books already, you know its a good one when it gets high praise as this did.
Got a small garden? Buy this.
