Perfect Plant, Perfect Place
Perfect Plant, Perfect Place One of the most creative gardening guides on the market! Years of experience answering questions on what to grow in problem sites — plus an impressive career at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum and plenty of practice in his own garden — make Roy Lancaster one of the best-qualified writers to advise on which plants to grow where. Perfect Plant Perfect Place is an invaluable, updated compilation of Roy's best-selling titles What Plant Where, What Perennial Where, and What Houseplant Where. It recommends plants for every situation, both in the garden and in the home. In each section, such as "Soil & Exposure," "Location," "Shrubs," and "Perennials," he takes different sites or conditions and offers an inspired selection of suitable plants. He also considers desired effects — perhaps planting to attract butterflies, or for autumn colors — and lists his choice for achieving these. Plant suggestions are illustrated with magnificent color photographs, supported by notes on the plant's special features and size, hardiness, and light and soil requirements — in short, all the facts you need to guarantee the perfect choice.
Customer Review: Super Useful
Because of this book, it gave my husband and I the direction and education to create the best yard in the neighborhood. While more detail would be nice, it is the best starting point for those who have no clue what they are doing or where to start, like me. I feel like an expert now.
Customer Review: This is a terrific book!!
This is a terrific book!! I bought this for my husband a year ago, when he first decided to embark on raising exotic house plants. We both love the book & still refer to it often. When we are redesigning a room, it also is a great reference for plant planning. This one is a must have for indoor & outdoor gardeners!!
