Author Ray Saunders began transforming his garden in the early 1990s. Throughout the years he has watched it grow and mature during which time he has been able to gain much knowledge as to the preferences of each plant. Drawing on his experience he has compiled this book to bring to readers the many shrubs and trees that will add beauty to their garden. Each plant is fully described and is an invaluable guide to anyone interested in improving their garden. All the plants are fully illustrated by photos he has taken of the many plants he has grown throughout the years which will show the reader the pleasing effect they can bring to their garden whether it be large or small. There are also details showing garden design with illustrations of plant groupings.
