Border Book - Anna Pavord - Paperback - 1 PBK ED

Add year-round color to any garden with superb planting schemes designed by best-selling gardening writer Anna Pavord. Perfect Plant Partners: This beautifully illustrated book makes the art of creating successful plant combinations easy for all gardeners. It contains dozens of ideas for traditional borders, island beds, vertical sites, and forgotten corners, and for all soil types and situations. Large-scale artworks show the finished displays, and there are individual color photographs of every plant used, with comprehensive plant lists, layout plans, and ideas for alternative plants for specific conditions. Ideas for All Gardens: Choose from a bed of scented golden roses, a cottage-garden border with peonies and columbines, or a sizzling tropical display of flame-colored cannas. Make the most of a damp, shady site with luxuriant ferns, or soften a retaining wall with tiny alpines. Gardeners can either recreate a scheme exactly as in the book, or use it as the starting point for a design of their own.Dorling Kindersley Publishing Staff is the author of 'Border Book - Anna Pavord - Paperback - 1 PBK ED' with ISBN 9780789451163 and ISBN 0789451166.
