“. . . plenty of information and excellent color photographs throughout. . . As a gift to an improving gardener, it would be a valuable tool in developing a small garden.”
(Manchester Journal Enquirer)
“. . . this book could serve as a first step toward choosing trees and shrubs that won’t result in future pruning disasters or an overly gloomy garden.”
(Washington Gardener)
“The scope of this book is broad. . . and it is sure to delight the more adventurous gardeners among us.”
(American Gardener)
“Diana Miller aimed to ‘introduce the wealth of trees and shrubs which could be grown in a smaller garden.’ She did a commendable job. The book is filled with a wide variety of trees and shrubs – some well known, some rather obscure.”
“Even small gardens need good ‘bones.’ Miller provides lots of ideas for selecting woody plants that will lend structure without being overpowering.”

Product Details
Hardcover: 216 pages
Publisher: Timber Press; First Edition edition (June 15, 2008)
This is a nicely produced reference book authored by an Englishwoman who has been much honored by the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain. The book is beautifully illustrated with numerous color photographs and the descriptions of the small trees and shrubs are concise and informative. However, if you are looking for a practical resource for the more northerly temperature zones of the US (Zones 4 or less), the book is of somewhat limited value. For example, of the 400 plants described, only a very few are hardy in Zone 4.
