Creative planting ideas: recipes for great gardens. Caroline Gunter. [n. d.]

Have you ever delighted in photographs of beautiful gardens and wondered how you could achieve a similar look? Creative Planting Ideas shows you how. Included are formal and informal gardens, suburban gardens, city gardens, even country gardens.

All the plants in each garden are identified and explained, and substitute plants are given to help you achieve a similar result under different growing conditions. As well, there are special features on colour combinations, fast growing plants, long flowering plants, roses, pot plants, tropical plants and scented plants. The helpful introduction explains the differences in soil, and discusses fertilisers, maintenance tasks, planting and propagating.
