Product Description

The Jade Garden is an authoritative guide to 130 of the most fascinating yet little-known ornamental trees, shrubs and perennials from Asia. Based on detailed research and observation at one of the largest and oldest collections of Asian plants in North America - the David C. Lam Asian Garden at the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden in Canada - the subjects of this book were chosen for their superior garden qualities, their rarity in everyday horticulture and their commercial availability.
