 Rating: - works in continental climatesVery practical ideas for intensively using space for successive waves of flower-power. Yes, his garden was enormous, but the technique transfers eficaciously to small areas. This is a highly practical book, despite the wonderfully distracting photography. I garden in North Eastern Spain (continental climate, not Mediterranean, where the problems of hardiness and drought-resistance are combined. Many of the combinations or types of plants in this book i already have established, evidence that this is not a book only relevant to Sussex. If you spend 5 years only buying and trying hardy perennials, you will eventually find you have a solid basis of all round colour, on which to play with subsequently! My soil is clay with only home-made compost added. Enjoy. Rating: - Always beautiful gardenCristopher Lloyd is a garden magician, like our day's Gertrude Jekyll. In this book he gives advice how to make your garden to bloom from early spring to late autumn and look good in the winter. Pictures from his own garden are beautiful and inspiring. Sometimes the colour combinations are shocking, but the ideas are easily applied to other colour schemes. In addition to design issues, Lloyd gives valuable tips on growing plants and recommendations for the best varietes. The writing style is entertaining and the whole book is really enjoyable.
