beautiful book about creating a lovely garden year round August 28, 2007
This is a very well put together book providing information and lots of photos about seedheads and their role in having a lovely garden. The writing is informative and layout of the book is easy to follow. There are many gorgeous photos with helpful tidbits. If you have a passion for flowers or just enjoy beautiful photos this is a great book to have.
What wonderful garden art February 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have extensively looked at the pictures, but have the written content still to read. The book made me realize just how much art is in the garden in fall and winter. Muted colors. Textures. Shapes. Contrasts. Themes.
Balance. Very valuable book for a designer and a lecturer.
New Classic - Beautiful Photography - Joins "The Garden In Autumn" by Allen Lacy as Favorite January 10, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Photography unequalled in any book I've seen! At each turn of the page, the close-ups and the long garden shots are diverse and imaginative. I would never have thought that the Raw Umbers, the Burnt Siennas, and the rich grays of many seeds and pods could be so interesting. A photo of silvery hoar frost on 'Karl Foerster' grass is a great contrast to the Jade-green seedheads of the opium poppy shown in another photo.
The text is too detailed to be of interest to me as a casual gardener, but is certainly complete enough to satisfy the serious garden designer or plant specialist.
An unexpected delight is the Plant Directory with photos.
very good book for the winter gardener January 3, 2007
This book makes a very good point of not cutting back perennials in late fall but leaving them for winter interest
This would make a nice gift for the gardener October 5, 2006

This book has some beautiful close up photographs of seedheads. If you are looking for different ideas or ways to extend the life of your flowers, take a look at "Seedheads in the Garden." I plan to plant a few of the flowers next season, just to have their unique seedheads. This is a book many gardeners may not have seen yet, but will be glad to get for a Christmas gift this year.
