Good introduction for the novice exotic gardener October 17, 2007
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
This is a very handsome book, and what it lacks in substance and wit from the absence of Christopher Lloyd in many of the sections, it makes up with Jonathan Buckley's wonderful photography and the occasional radical insight. It's not a terribly cohesive book due to the number of contributors and some of the subjects covered, but Lloyd's sections and those by Roy Lancaster and Helen Dillon are sage and full of their enthusiasm for a different kind of planting. I can't say that this is a book for the truly adventurous garden, as such a gardener is well beyond the plants suggested in this book, and some of the advice on hardiness of certain plants is as woefully cautious and unadventurous as the advice given in RHS tomes. Quibbles aside, it is a nice addition to the exotic garden canon, but it would be nice to have a book that really did push the boundaries of exotic planting and garden design.
