Flower Garden - Tapa dura

This book takes a personal view of how to combine plants and shrubs to create spectacular effects in a garden. Planting schemes are arranged by season to create the colour combinations of the author's own garden at Great Dixter in Sussex. Many gardeners will be surprised to learn that atmospheric colour and foliage effects are possible in all four seasons. The book includes information on tulips, foliage meadows, ponds, walls, grasses, bamboo, winter arrangements and topiary.
