The Dry Garden - Hardcover
Writing with enormous enthusiasm about the creation of her garden and the challenge of finding suitable plants, the author explains how good foliage, form and other characteristics are considerations as important as color and flowering season. There are chapters on moisture conservation and soil improvement as well as plant grouping and design in the dry garden. The author offers planting schemes and plans for borders to provide interest from earliest spring until winter.
Thomas Fischer's introduction to this new edition provides a fascinating perspective of Chatto's influence on the way we garden today. His revision of the plant index makes it far more useful for North American gardeners.

Book Description:
Improbably enough, the eminent English plantswoman's own garden & nursery in East Anglia led her to write these classics, since both problems occur on her property. Her disarmingly simple solution-match the plant to the site, soil, & climate-has succeeded in turning this nursery into one of the world's great horticultural resources.
About the Author:
Beth Chatto manages her own Garden and Nursery for Unusual Plants at Elmstead Market, Essex, England.
