It includes extensive lists of the most useful plants for colour-rich schemes with full cultivation notes. Artwork showing full planting details enables gardeners to put their ideas into practice.</p><p>Andrew Lawson is the photographer for Rosemary Verey's "Good Planting" and "The Garden in Winter", Stephen Lacey's "Scent Your Garden", HRH The Prince of Wales's "Highgrove, Portrait of an Estate" and "Penelope Hobhouse On Gardening".
