Plants
for Problem Places
by

Every garden
has its problems and here I help you solve
thirteen of the most difficult
garden situations. I analyse each problem, suggest how to
alleviate the problem and then recommend plants to thrive in
spite of the problem. You may think this is a timeworn topic
but no other book deals so comprehensively with so many
difficult situations.
