5 out of 5 stars Perfect Sense Planting   April 8, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book is ideal for anyone wanting to get the best out of their garden. Rosemary deals with all aspects of planting schemes, offering common sense and suggestions throughout. The pictures are accompanied by detailed descriptions of each plant - this aspect alone makes the book worth buying. A must for anyone who wants to create a beautiful plot whatever its size.


5 out of 5 stars Glorious   September 19, 2001
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

The things I like about this book are that it has glorious photos as opposed to the more usual fuzzy water colour drawings that one sees in books of this type and is evidently written by a women who was a plantswoman to the core with a knowledge of plants and gardens that I can only dream of one day having. Far better than the RHS book on Planting Schemes.


4 out of 5 stars Traditional gardens and borders   January 30, 2001
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Another inspirational book by Rosemary Verey. This book deals with the art of companion planting, taking into account different habitats and characteristics of the plants. She gives detailed information on bulbs, climbers, mixed borders,ground cover, woodland and containers. Always very English and traditional planting with lovely and harmoniuous combinations.

All beautifully photographed.

If you like Beth Chatto and Penelope Hobhouse then you'll enjoy this book!

It makes you want to 'get out there' and re-create the borders in your own little patch!
