Publisher's Note A three-time Quill and Trowel Award winner and Clarkson Potter's most successful gardening author introduces spectacular gardens that express a passion for a single variety of flower, an array of exotic species, and even a color scheme. 400 color photos.
Ken Druse...introduces spectacular gardens that express a passion for a single variety of flower, an array of exotic species, and even a color scheme...he reveals how gardeners can indulge their own passions--and preserve the plant species of the world at the same time--by gathering and nurturing a collector's garden.
Industry Reviews "...Ken Druse combines his exquisite photographs with deft caricatures of people who devote themselves to plants....But more than the people, it is the plants that count. Collectors' portraits are shown through their gardens....Looking at the photographs provides all the ideas anyone could ever need for unusual plants in a format that is more interesting and provocative than the usual big book of alphabetical listings." New York Times Book Review - Dora Galitzki (06/16/1996)
