"His plant directory is rich and colorful. . . . McIndoe
occasionally waxes personal, but his style is assuredly
instructional." --Library Journal "Shrubs play a key part in
gardening, as McIndoe so clearly explains in this guide
highlighting their year-round beauty and maintenance. . . . This
comprehensive text [is] sure to please gardeners who love
perennials." --Booklist "An invaluable reference source for
designers, gardeners and landscapers needing inspiration on plant
combinations." --Gardens Illustrated "Home gardeners will
appreciate this guide to the humble shrub with its glossy color
photos and multitude of suggestions for staging and pairing
plants." --American Reference Books Annual "The author, managing
director of Hillier Nurseries and Garden Centres in Hampshire,
England, knows his shrubs. His advice on how to combine shrubs
visually and culturally, on pruning, growing shrubs in containers,
and planting for seasonal interest are so useful." --Pacific
Northwest Magazine "The shrub-curious will find a lot to ponder. .
. . Plenty of pictures pack the pages, illustrating the chapters
and sparking ideas of your own." --Kitsap Sun "Explores garden
styles that put shrubs front and center, along with choosing low
maintenance plants. It's written by an award--winning English
plantsman, but the information is useful on this side of the pond,
too." --Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier "A gorgeous book! And oh so
helpful." --Wall-to-Wall Books
