Plants for Problem Places

Wonderful guide based on decades of practical 'hands on' experience that helps answer the lingering question--'Will this one survive in the area?'

Eminently useful book for anyone with a garden

This is a wonderful little book that is the ultimate guide to knowing what to plant in specific difficult garden situations, such as shade, chalky soil, bad drainage, slopes, seaside, etc. The author is a great help, often giving exact cultivars of plants that will work for your problem spot. Seems to me any book by Graham Rice is amazingly researched and written in a spritely style that's easy to read yet wonderfully instructive. Good for beginners as well as advanced gardeners.
