	RHS Grasses (Royal Horticultural Society) (Paperback) by Roger Grounds (Author), Andrew Lawson (Photographer) Grasses are the keynote plants of twenty-first century gardening. They provide year-round interest and are hugely versatile offering a diversity of size, form, colour and texture unsurpassed by any genus. They are treasured for the way they seem to capture light and bring structure and movement to gardens of any size. A relative newcomer, a hundred years ago gardeners only had the choice of eight or ten ornamental grasses. Now thanks to nurserymen, breeders and collectors around the world there are several hundred varieties. These cover an enormous range of sizes, textures and colours and are suitable for almost any growing condition. Informative and inspirational, this book guides the reader through this wealth of choice selecting the grasses best suited to various garden uses, habitats and design styles. Individual portraits at the heart of the book capture the fluid, dynamic and evanescent beauty of the different grasses, while photographs of borders and gardens illustrate a host of ideas for growing them. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the gardener or designer. COVER PRICE £14.99 ISBN: 9781844003143 Price: £13.49


Great Plants for Tough Places (Paperback) by Sharon Amos (Author), Steve Wooster (Photographer) A garden is rarely so straightforward as to have smooth flat lawns and borders of rich, easily dug soil. Some of us have to put up with damp sunless corridors between neighbour's houses, awkward slopes or plots shaded by trees or neighbouring buildings. Equally difficult to plant are seaside gardens exposed to gale force winds and salt spray, waterlogged plots with poor drainage, and dry soils exposed to the merciless glare of the sun day after day, without the slightest shade. Try to plant up any of these areas with a standard selection of garden-centre plants and the chances are you'll end up with a display of unsightly brown leaves and dried stems as the plants become defeated by the unsuitable habitat. What you need is an unkillable plant - one that will shrug off all the worst conditions in your garden and actually thrive in them and make good growth. Of course the plants aren't literally unkillable- put a drought-tolerant broom into a bog garden and it will die, of course - but they are invincible in the specific hostile conditions they have evolved to cope with.

Lilies for English Gardens (Hardcover) by Gertrude Jekyll (Author) This text is written to dispel the myth that lilies are difficult to grow and best left to "specialists". This illustrated handbook is aimed specifically at the amateur and is a tribute to these plants which the author feels deserve a much wider appreciation. In spite of an ever-increasing interest in gardens and gardening, the lily had not received the attention which many experts feel its individual beauty as well as its contribution to garden "pictures" deserves. Too often the lily remains the domain of the "specialist" in spite of the fact that it is believed to have been cultivated for longer that any other ornamental flower, having existed in gardens over 3,000 years ago. Gertrude Jekyll's illustrated "guide for amateurs" aims to fill a gap in the literature of the subject and also to encourage those keen to learn more about this beautiful plant. Her hope was that she would excite those readers who, through the pages of this book, will "discover" lilies for the very first time. Although many of today's species have been developed since the 1940s, this work should be a practical aid to those willing to grow these magnificent flowers.THIS BOOK HAS SLIGHT SIGNS OF SHELF WEAR Price: £5.99

Christopher Lloyd's Garden Flowers (Hardback) by Christopher Lloyd (Author) A scholar among professional gardeners, Christopher Lloyd is famous throughout the English-speaking world for his articles in Country Life - decades of sustained brilliance and entertainment, unparalleled in gardening journalism. He is renowned also in Britain for the gardens of his Sussex home, Great Dixter, where he ceaselessly experiments with new ideas. Thirty years ago he wrote the classic Well-Tempered Garden. Now, he presents his lifetime's study of the gardener's main materials - perennial plants. Describing over one thousand plants, with common names, descriptions and judgements on thousands of species and varieties, he outlines how to choose perennials, what to choose and what absolutely not to choose. Most encyclopaedias show garden plants impartially: the easy and the difficult, the graceful, the graceless and the frankly awful, all without any discrimination. Lloyd goes further. With every group he discriminates, appraises, warns, speculates and experiments, offering an individual perspective on horticulture that will entertain, enthuse and inspire.

1001 Perennials Pb by Claire Austin 1001 Perennials focuses on the plants that are the foundation of every garden. Technically, perennials are any plants that live for more than two years, but generally (and in this book) the term is used to refer to herbaceous perennials - plants which die away every year and miraculously reappear the next. The 1001 varieties chosen for this book have passed three vital tests: they are beautiful, they are readily available and they are easy to grow. This book recommends perennials for use in shade, very wet or dry areas of the garden, the front back and middle of borders, for ground cover, for autumn and winter gardens and for acidic or alkaline soils. It also highlights plants that are great for fragrance, foliage and attracting wildlife, especially butterflies. Arranged in a convenient A-Z format, each entry is beautifully photographed and also includes a detailed description, the flowering period of the plant, cultivation information and suggestions for the best use or place for the plant.
