The Collector's Garden : Designing with Extraordinary Plants

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This book is the story of those passionate gardening extremists who turn a particular species of plant into their particular mission in life. Among them, Margaret Sharp and Pam Puryear, who have devoted themselves to collecting and saving old roses. Ken Druse provides exacting prose portraits to go with his beautiful photographs of the plants that are the source of such deep obsession. The result is a book that helps make clear just why gardening is one of the most popular pastimes in the world.

The New York Times Book Review, Dora Galitzki
Looking at the photographs provides all the ideas anyone could ever need for unusual plants in a format that is more interesting and provocative that the usual big book of alphabetical listings.
