Winter Garden Glory: How to Get the Best from Your Garden from Autumn Through to Spring Hardcover – January 1, 1994

FABULOUS!! Adrian Bloom's best. Includes several planting diagrams for mini-gardens and some larger gardens, and some extremely helpful plant lists which lists the ultimate size of shrubs. (Pot tags usually give you an estimate of size in ten years. It's good to know that your dwarf Hinoki Cypress that is supposed to be 24 inches high is eventually going to be 10 feet tall so you can plan ahead.) Many hints on caring for specific trees and shrubs. I'd love a more extensive plant list, more planting schemes with real photos instead of sketches, and some idea of spacing within the diagrams. Also: Bloom is based in England, and the heat and possible drought of a New England summer may skew some of his climate recommendations. Also also: many of his specific shrub varieties are not easily available in North America.
