Christopher Lloyd's Garden Flowers: Perennials, Bulbs, Grasses, Ferns
Christopher Lloyd |
$39.95
|
This represents the fruit of Lloyd's lifetime's study of perennial plants. Genus by genus, he sets down everything he has learned, thought, seen, tried, liked, or regretted about them, individually or in combination. He is formidably knowledgeable, iconoclastic, sometimes dyspeptic or even rude, and always entertaining. In his own words, "For good or ill, here you have the voice of an individual rather than the omniscience of a faceless team of contributors . . . I love plants: at least that must be clear---perhaps even infectious."

Gardening with Grasses
Michael King and Piet Oudolf
Foreword by Beth Chatto

Ornamental grasses are among the most versatile and sophisticated of garden plants. Planted as single specimens in beds or on the terrace in a container, grasses are striking focal points. Smaller forms bring rhythm and diversity to mixed borders, and clumping forms richly carpet the ground. This beautifully illustrated book by two imaginative garden designers will provide equal measures of information and inspiration.
