Beth Chatto's Shade GardenBeth ChattoLabel: Pimpernel Press LtdDescription: First published as Beth Chatto's Woodland Garden by Cassell in 2002 this Pimpernel Classic edition includes a new afterword by David Ward Garden and Nursery Director at Beth Chatto's Garden and a new introduction by Beth Chatto.'Most gardens have dark areas - a north-facing border an area shaded by a hedge fence or house wall a bed in the shade cast by shrubs or trees with greedy roots - and for many gardeners these are a challenge and often a trial. Fortunately there are plants adapted by Nature to a vast range of conditions and by choosing suitable plants we can transform almost any problem site into something beautiful.'In this book legendary plantswoman Beth Chatto shows how the problem of shade in a garden can be turned to advantage. She tells how she transformed a dark derelict site into a woodland garden that is tranquil and serene yet full of life and interest in every season. She describes too a wealth of plants that will thrive in shady beds and borders and on walls.
