Reviews

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book features combinations (and regional substitutions) of focal plants and their most striking companions.

There is not a lot of gardening advice and information in this book so if you are starting your first garden this should be a companion book.

I really like Anna Pavord's writing style and enjoyed this book.

[Ruth Brumby · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent illustrations and a well written text by a knowledgeable gardener. The prose is delightful and sometimes very funny. It bears re-reading.
