Gardening With Shade

Rating:
Summary: An informative book to get you started on shade gardening.
Review: An excellent book that covers the different types of shade plants needed to get you started in shade gardening. Plant pictures and layouts were inspiring. Zone information and other plant information was more than adequate. I found plants to use that local nurseries hadn't even heard about. The end result is a beautiful shade garden that keeps getting larger each year.

Summary: You need this if you have shade -- and who doesn't?
Review: This book gives you great ideas on what to plant and excellent examples of various shade landscaping ideas. Shade gardening is a bit more challenging because there are simply much fewer varieties of common nursery plants, less choice of color, etc. This books certainly goes a long way in helping the shade gardener in making the right decisions.
