description: A classic by one of England's most respected gardening writers, GARDENING IN THE SHADE by the late Margery Fish is a practical and creative guide to making the most of a garden's shady spaces. Plants and planting for every type of shade are offfered here--from dry shaded borders and rock gardens to damp sites and dark walls. From years of experience in her own garden at East Lambrook, Somerset, Margery Fish learned that shade was an ooportunity to paint an exciting canvas with textures and foliage effects. Over 1,500 plants that she grew in her garden are described here. Expert horticulturalist and author Graham Rice has reviewed Margery Fish's plant names and compiled a reference section at the back of the book from which to source the current botanical names of plants mentioned in the text.
