If you're looking for the right plant for a particular place or purpose, Plant Solutions is an invaluable resource.

Each entry has a photograph, a clear description including desirable varieties, a summary of cultivation requirements, planting ideas, and suggestions for companion plants. Cross references to other plants in the book enable gardeners to build up a palette of plants to suit their needs. Fully annotated illustrations of planting schemes and color-coded tabs for quick reference make for an inspirational and practical companion for gardeners and designers.
For those who feared that creating a new garden meant long months with bare soil and twig-like young plants, for those who only plan a short stay in a new home and for those leading busy lives with little time for garden maintenance, Nigel Colborn has an array of simple, innovative schemes and solutions to achieve an integrated, well-established look almost instantly - and with a minimum of initial effort and maintenance. The author sets out designs, presents short-cut strategies, and grades materials and plants according to the time you might have available.
Most gardens have an open space at their heart--a focal "floor" amidst the beds, borders, & shrubbery that surround it. Now, this new collection of ideas & projects shows readers how to transform that space into the showpiece of their garden.
Nigel Colborn, a regular on BBC's 'Gardener's World', here presents a combination of tried-and-tested gardening practice and history. His book covers everything from natural horticultural methods of propagation, fertilization of soil, care and cultivation, to period garden design and layout.
