An English garden lives or dies by its trees and shrubs, the bones beneath the flowers. Ernest Cook surveys the best woody plants for British gardens, urging variety over monotony and describing choice trees and shrubs for every setting. Practical and richly informed. Plant the enduring backbone of a beautiful garden.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
