Nice is the only thing I can think of to say about this book. Quite honestly the information is only really useful for complete novice gardeners. There is nothing in here that is useful for anyone already a competant gardener and there is nothing astonishing about the photography or the ideas, pity really; as winter is a wonderful time of year and it is a real thrill to see a well-planted winter garden. It can lift the spirits just as much as any other time of year.

Gardeners will find this an inspirational guide which goes beyond the usual colorful flower focus
10 April 2007
THE WINTER GARDEN: CREATE A GARDEN THAT SHINES THROUGH THE FORGOTTEN SEASON tells how to plan a garden with winter interest in mind. There are many, many gardening guides for summer and spring planting and some which advocate 'year round' gardening - but relatively few which narrow the focus to just winter. Val Bourne suggests trees, shrubs, berries and evergreens which include different textures, shapes, colors and early flowers for eye-catching displays, with color photos packing in examples. Gardeners will find this an inspirational guide which goes beyond the usual colorful flower focus to address other garden elements which can make a winter garden an appealing success.
