This volume shows how to plan a garden using perennials. It discusses the principles of garden design and plant combinations - colour, depth and height - and advises on how best to manipulate them. There are also chapters on planning beds, borders, and foundation plantings; mixing perennials with annuals, shrubs, vines, bulbs, and small trees; using perennials as ground covers in a variety of ways; and the use of garden ornaments and furniture.
