Book 3

Cover of The Courtyard and Terrace Gardens
The third in a series, this book shows that, however small the available space, every garden offers an almost unlimited choice of satisfying plant associations - provided the plants are carefully chosen and every part of the garden, including walls, fences, steps and patios, is fully exploited. Container plants, so convenient for quick 'spot' colour, climbers to add height and texture to even the smallest space, and bulbs for trouble-free seasonal colour, all have their special role. This new book is four of the Wisley Handbooks collected into a single volume to provide a comprehensive, colourful gardener's reference book in a convenient format: "Gardening in a Small Space", "Climbing and Wall Plants", "Growing Dwarf Bulbs" and "Gardening in Ornamental Containers".

Book 6

Cover of Heathers, Conifers and the Winter Garden
Combining the three Wisley handbooks "Heaths and Heathers", "Dwarf and Slow-Growing Conifers" and "The Winter Garden", this text shows how to use the colours and forms of heathers, conifers and other selected plants to create a garden attractive for all seasons, including winter. Fully descriptive lists of heathers recommended for flower and foliage, and dwarf conifers suitable for all situations provide a number of planting ideas, whilst the winter virtues of many more plants, including shrubs, climbers, trees, perennials and bulbs are explored in detail. The text is complemented throughout by over 130 colour photographs.
