Designing a planting scheme is a complex task, and one that can be difficult for even the most experienced of gardeners. With a bewildering array of plants to choose from it can be hard to know where to begin.
The RHS Book of Planting Schemes draws on the experience of leading gardeners and garden design ers to bring you over 60 planting plans for all areas of the garden. Whether you want to turn a large sunny area into a yellow border, create a stunning waterside planting or just fill a few containers in a city courtyard, this book will take the guesswork out of the equation.
Each planting scheme is accompanied by a colour illustration, and a planting list for each scheme is supported by a comprehensive Plant Directory entry for each plant. Alternative Plantings for many of the schemes are given so that you can adapt them, either to extend the flowering season or change the colour theme.
Beginners and more experienced gardeners alike will find this book an invaluable companion when planning any area of the garden.
