Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This sleek and attractive book creatively suggests ways to combine garden plants to make a distinctive statement in a home landscape. Experienced garden writer Barash (Edible Flowers: From Garden to Plate) emphasizes the use of color, shape, and texture for a successful garden design. Excellent color photos are used throughout to illustrate the use of these elements in the garden. Along with blocks of text, the photos help the reader make plant selections that will be successful in any garden. Occasionally, the color background for the text distracts from the photos, which are really the strength of this work. Get this useful guide to stimulate the imagination of your gardening readers. Recommended for public libraries.--Dale Luchsinger, Milwaukee Area Technical Coll. Lib. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

    Exceptional resource for plant combination ideas

    A book which goes beyond the norm in design, writing, and photography. The plant, color, and texture combinations shown in this book opened my eyes to new garden possibilities. The writing is clear and useful for both beginner and master gardener - obviously the author knows her plant material inside and out. Highly recommended.
