Product Description
Product Description
Margery Fish treats shady areas not as problem patches to be filled with humble, ground cover plants, but as opportunities to paint an exciting canvas with textures and foliage effects not possible under the glare of the sun.
Many of the plantings used as examples are taken from Fish's garden at East Lambrook Manor in Somerset.

Detailed info for the intermediate gardener, 11 Feb 2007
By papillon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gardening in the Shade (Hardcover)
I've been gardening for a long time and recently joined the Hardy Plant Society and am a volunteer in their seed exchange. I'm an intermediate level gardener and I've got enough basic books on the subject. When I first got this book I was a little disappointed, it seemed like a slim volume and each chapter focused on only one flower, also they used different crops of the same photo/garden within a page or two of each other. Then I started reading it! The text of each article has the character of the gardener writing it. But what I really like are the sidebars with great tidbits on growing cyclamen from seed, sections on trilliums,epimediums and cypripedium (hardy lady slipper orchids), and phlox divaricata as well as other plants I want to learn about like mountain laurel, bloodroot, cimicifuga, japanese anemones for late summer, and more. The focus on propagating was just what I needed.
