| | An Encyclopedia of Shade Perennials Review -- Book-Reviews.info |
 | | From the man who is the original expert on the subject, a fantastic resource for all who garden in the shade. |
 | | Thankfully the shade craze caught on perhaps with the publication of Schmid's first book, "The Genus Hosta." The book starts with practical tips on the "bones of the garden" trees and soil and covers briefly many other subjects before getting into the plants that are appropriate for shade. |
 | | I own many books on shade gardening, including books devoted exclusively to the subjects of ferns, ivies, mosses, etc. I find that this is the book that I keep right there with my other two favorites, Dirr's on trees and of course "The Genus Hosta". |
