Book Reviews of The Well-Tended Perennial Garden: Planting and Pruning Techniques
Book Review: Would be better if you lived in the US (but not much)
Summary: 2 Stars
I have just revamped my garden and being a novice wanted a book on perennials. The book has an A-Z of perennials (while the photographs are pretty, I'm not sure that they are going to be very helpful in identifying plants) and a very wordy guide on planting and pruning techniques. There is some good stuff in the guide, but it is just buried in too much flannel.
The worst thing about the book is that it is based on a US garden, so a lot of the information about growing seasons and climate is not easy to apply to the UK.
So overall, too wordy, badly laid out, US-centric. There must be better books for the UK.
