 Dream Plants for the Natural Garden Piet Oudolf, Henk Gerritsen, Henk Gerristen Synopsis Gerritsen and Oudolf describe their special choice of ideal plants - perennials, bulbs, grasses, ferns and small shrubs. The book provides complete growing information for each plant and advice on how to use them to best effect. Rather than striving to create big and bold masses of colourful blooms that are vigorously pruned back as soon as they have finished flowering, the Gerritsen and Oudolf choose plants chiefly for their form - leaves, flower heads and stems included - which retain their natural beauty through all the seasons. The structure of the book is based around the way that plants behave - their relative growing strengths and reliability - factors that always inform the authors' designs. Rating - 4* |
 Planting the Natural Garden Piet Oudolf Synopsis It provides an update of cultivars developed since 1999 however, and there are a number of suggested plant combinations that do not appear in the previous books which will be helpful to those enthusiasts developing a naturalistic style of planting in their own gardens. The text is also peppered with little gems of information that increase understanding of individual plant life cycles. To keen supporters of Piet Oudolf's and Henk Gerritson's work these features alone will justify getting the book. Rating - 3* |
 The Essential Garden Book: The... Terence Conran, Dan Pearson Synopsis This reference work is for anyone wanting to improve their garden.

 Bold, Romantic Gardens James van Sweden, Wolfgang Oehme Synopsis From the fabulous clear photographs of Van Sweden and Oeheme's work, to the intricate details of how a kerb detail works, this book will inspire and delight.
