Praise for Plants for Problem Places
You can give up your home and move to a better garden site, or turn your liabilities into assets. Graham Rice makes a case for the latter in this delightfully written, well-organized primer... Should lighten the spirits of those disheartened by vexing gardens.
Linda Yang, New York Times
This is a wonderful little book that is the ultimate guide to knowing what to plant… The author is a great help, often giving exact cultivars of plants that will work for your problem spot. Seems to me any book by Graham Rice is amazingly researched and written in a sprightly style that's easy to read yet wonderfully instructive. Good for beginners as well as advanced gardeners.
