The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing Shrubs

Incredibly helpful title! I am learning more and more about shrubs and how to incorporate them into my own landscape. This has been an invaluable resource for me. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about shrubs in general (the science, and the care of) and then using it has a fundamental basis before looking for natives in your country.

I love the Kew Gardener's Guides! Like other titles in the series, The Kew Gardener's Guide to Growing Shrubs is an excellent and thorough resource for all gardening enthusiasts. A comprehensive introduction is followed by detailed and beautifully illustrated descriptions of the most common varieties of shrubs, with growing requirements and tips. Also included are 12 projects - practical activities meant to inspire the reader and increase their ability and confidence growing shrubs. This is a truly beautiful book that would make a lovely gift.
