I was lured into its trap by the sumptuous photography and encouraging text so now I want to make my own grass bed! An excellent book.
If you thought there were just a few varieties, arm yourself with the Timber Press Pocket Guide to Ornamental Grasses.
Over 530 species and cultivars are described, a great achievement.
Thanks to Rick Darke and Timber for making my life easier.
This easy-to-use pocket size edition of colorful ornamental grasses with color photos taken by the author is a great help to any gardener planning on adding them to the garden design.
This is the handy-dandy book to take to your garden center when shopping for any ornamental grass.
Rick Darke's personal insight into each plant's outstanding horticultural features and his excellent photographs demonstrate both a professional and hands-on love of ornamental grasses.
Retailing for under $20.00, anyone wishing to have all needed information on ornamental grasses should make this small investment and obtain this work.
I recommend this book as a first-rate reference for an important group of plants, for the exciting photos, and because it covers twice as many grasses as John Greenlee's book on this same topic.
It's the perfect size for trips to the nursery and provides quick reference to help you "weed" through the varietal fields of grasses.
Provides back-yard gardeners and professionals alike with an impressive array of color photographs, many in natural settings, and readable and informative text on how to grow grasses and which species and cultivars are available for cultivation.
This book will be a useful addition to gardening sections of public libraries, as well as to individual gardeners or garden centers.
The volume is a timely addition on a current hot topic in horticulture.
A thorough, scholarly handbook that's valuable for identification and information.
