the best book on exotic plants February 17, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
At long last the world of exotic/architectural plants has a bible - and this is it. Will Giles's latest book covers a large cross section of plants, including trees, shrubs, herbacous plants and an entertaining section entitled "houseplants outdoors". Giles also includes plants which are valuable for their asthetic qualities but are far from exotic - some even native to the UK. Each plant has a fairly detailed entry detailing growing procedure and preferred climatic conditions, most also having a photograph. The author grows many of these plants in his own garden, so there's a great deal of first hand experience in the text. To round it off there's also a useful listing of suppliers and websites.

Really delighted with my copy. Clear straight forward horticultual advice on growing. Botanical names for identification. Beautiful photos that make it a good pick up and dip into. Great to clear away the winter blues as you dream of what exotics it is now possible to grow. Just fantastic for real and armchair gardeners alike.
