I’m finding this book thoroughly boring. It really is an encyclopaedia so alright for dipping into I suppose. There are a few good photographs but not many. I think the blurb set my expectations too high and I was expecting a more interesting read and more sophistication in the colour schemes.

A great guide to a range of plants that will give your garden colour throughout the year, as well as useful tips for planting borders and pots with seasonal progression and maximising colour in mind.

Beautiful blooms

Gorgeous photos that show sumptuous flowers. It tells you which flowers can be placed in your garden but also says which ones are tricky to grow.

Fantastic pictures and a great guide to getting all the color you can in the garden in every season. No wonder Nick is on Gardner's World, he's amazing!
