A superbly produced introduction to these useful plants. - Rated
This is a fine introduction to these intriguing - and currently fashionable - plants by an accessible designer/writer. The book has two main areas of interest, the first looking at grasses and bamboos from the design perspective, the second an extremely useful A-Z reference listing of more than eighty plants. The assistance of a grass and bamboo grower as consultant ensures clear and detailed information on cultural requirements. A commendable text beautifully produced and featuring the most exquisite plant photography by Andrea Jones; the book is almost worth buying for the dust jacket alone.
