Great Year Round Gardening,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Garden for All Seasons (Hardcover)
I found this book to be highly helpful for a new gardener. It not only shows combinations, but gives lots of year round tips. A friend brought it to me to browse, I was so impressed I had to buy the book for myself. I also told a few friends - that this is definitely the "1" book you want to have in your gardening library. I can't wait for mine to come, I'm sure my friend is anxious to have hers back.

Outstanding Four Season Gardening Book, A Must For Pacific Northwestern Gardeners,
By Lee151 (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Garden for All Seasons (Hardcover)
This book is written for gardeners in England. For those of us in the Pacific Northwest the plants suggested are perfect. They are readily available and many do their best here. Every gardener in Seattle, Vancouver BC and Portland OR should buy this book. For gardeners in other parts of the USA it will not be pefect but still well worth reading.
The technique of layering the garden with plants that have interest in more than one season and the wonderful combinations can be applied to plants that will thrive in your climate zone. There are suggested combinations and vignettes throughout the book for all seasons. There are detailed sections on key plants throughout also. Clematis, Heather, Dwarf Conifers and many more get the spotlight. This book is full of outstanding color photos. They are beautiful as well as instructional. Many of the plants are shown in more than one season so you can see not just what the blooms are like but the fall or winter color too. This book makes it easy to have a garden that is just as interesting in December as it is in May.
