| I found this book really helpful with lots of illustrations and easily understood information about lots of trees and shrubs. I managed to identify several of my shrubs that I did not know the name of, from the illustrations, as there are some quite unusual ones there. My only wish would be that the book was in the same format, but dealing with flowering shrubs only and twice as many of them. Overall though an excellent book.

| It is true that this has to be one of the worse titled books of all time. A FLORA in any sense here should be an identification guide and it isn't that at all - it is a personal exploration of various plants concentrating not necessarily on the most important but on those for which the author has an affection for or simply information on. The main interests are folklore and distribution - industry and use and even literature get short shrift, oddly. It is true too that plant introductions are widely covered, but the distinction in terms of salience would be rather misleading (do we miss out horse-chstnut?...). The joy of this book which frankly does NOT look as though it was twenty years (flap) in the making is the writing and out of the way sources ... Read More |

| Charles Coates' book, "The Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland" is a revelation. Wild flower books are generally arranged by species and family, following the principles of binomial nomenclature established in the 18th Century by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus. This system, although used worldwide by botanists and zoologists, is of limited use to those unversed in Linnaean taxonomy, who, out for a ramble, come across an unknown wild flower in field or hedgerow. Standard wildflower references require the amateur to leaf through much of the book to find the subject. This is where Coates' volume scores brilliantly - it is arranged according to the most logical and simple process - colour. See a yellow flower, turn to the yellow section, check details such as ...

| Creating a wild flower meadow is not a straight forward task. Many who try, fail. I would not have begun to attempt turning my quartre acre plot of rough pasture into a wild flower meadow without this book. The book is holding my hand all the way and continues to answer all my questions and allay any fears of failure. It is a book full of intelligent and experienced knowledge and makes a delightful read. Pam and Peter Lewis's work is an inspiration. I just hope that more people follow in their footsteps to help create and re-create areas of natural beauty and conservation. Be bold, be brave, be creative. Enthusiasm, passion and this book is all you need. |

| The TV series Christines Garden is a brilliant way to unwind on a Friday night after a hard weeks work stuck in the office. The eccentric and loveable Christine brings so much enthusiasm and passion to this series all about her life, her garden, and her horticultural career.
As soon as I heard Chrsitine had written a book to accompany the series, I rushed out to order my copy. I read the book in just 2 days as it was too good to put down! I was worried the book wouldn't be able to get across her enthusiasm and passion for the garden, in the way that the series too, but I needn't have been concerned at all. You can hear Christines voice as you read her day to day account of her year, in the form of a diary. Plenty of mentions for her adorable ... Read More |
