Book Description
Improbably enough, the eminent English plantswoman's own garden & nursery in East Anglia led her to write these classics, since both problems occur on her property. Her disarmingly simple solution-match the plant to the site, soil, & climate-has succeeded in turning this nursery into one of the world's great horticultural resources.

Dry Garden Information,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Dry Garden (Paperback)
This is a useful guide to select and maintain dry gardens. The author lives in England, so not everything is useful in Chicago gardens, but there are lots of useful tips and plant selections that help to give a better understanding dry garden requirements. I found the information useful in designing gardens along the Lake Michigan lakefront which has sandy soil.
