| Beth Chatto's glorious gravel garden appears to defy the conditions in which it grows, and this is the story of how she came to make it. Crammed with detail, well-described illustrations, and full of little gems of useful information, it is an inspiration to all gardeners, especially those of us who struggle with hot, dry summers in the south of England. Plants for each season are lovingly described, with special favourites given their own mini-chapters. Tucked away at the end is a chapter about her newest, scree garden - if only there was more. Let's hope her next book is already being written - this is a garden I for one would love to know more about! |

| I haven't been disappointed with any of Paullina Simons book and this was no exception. I have been waiting for the follow up to The Bronze Horseman, Tatiana & Alexander and it was worth waiting for. Lots of joy and heartache and a brilliant story. I couldn't put it down. |

| 24.Mediterranean Garden Plants: A Comprehensive Guide to Over 350 Plants by: L. Cavanagh November 19, 2005 |

| This is a great book for those who need to know the plants that will grow in Mediterranean gardens. The layout is excellent, with each plant having a half page picture, then a summary about height, water, etc etc. On the opposite page is some info about the plant for pruning, soil, history, all sorts really.
Clearly laid out in alphabetical order, it also has the spanish name - invaluable if like me you want it for spain. This has enabled me to plan and plant some great shrubs in the right places and knowing whether they would shed their leaves and how much care they need. If, like me, you are a bit of a novice, this will give a great introduction to 350 plants that can really make the most of your garden. |

| I am a big advocate on using plants to create green walls and roofs. They can reduce the urban "heat island" effect and create usable green open spaces. I found this book's discussions on Intensive Green Roof, Extensive Green Roof, , Ecoroof, Brown Roof, etc interesting. This book is a serious attempt on a difficult subject. The color photos inside the book are helpful also.
There are still technical difficulties in using green walls and roofs: water proofing, how to handle the structural weight of large trees, how to integrate large plants with building structure, etc. All these technical discussions are needed, and they could be the subject of another book.

List Price: £12.99 Gardening BookSale's Price: £8.44 You Save: £4.55 (35%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.42 |
| An excellent introduction and reference book for growing salad plants. The usual supects are covered as well as some rather more obscure ones. Creatively illustrated with marvelous photography, Larkcom firstly arranges chapters of salad plants such as stems and stalks, fruiting vegetables etc., as you would expect, but also flowers, herbs and wild plants. She then turns her attention to cultivation and finally ends with a few recipes. Anyone interested in starting a small kitchen garden, allotment or potager will find this invaluable and desperately inspiring. Joy Larkcom has been growing food since the seventies and her knowlege and clear style are inspiring. |
