Customer Reviews

one of the NECESSARY references!

I learned several bits of information that help immeasurably. The book is very informative, covers various styles of borders, and since we have visited some of the gardens it was especially enjoyable. Right now it's my absolute favorite.

An insight to "secrets" of English border-style gardening

The photographs alone will inspire gardeners to rework their entire garden. Not only does the book identify each plant in the photographs, but tells you how to maintain the look, gives insider secrets, and is interspersed with Tony Lord's witty prose. My favorite gardening book.
