  Naturalistic planting offers a revolutionary new approach to garden making. Rich in plants, sustainable and eco-friendly, the best naturalistic gardens are also beautiful, uplifting places that stop us in our tracks. Nigel Dunnett is a leading exponent and this is the essential go-to guide for anyone wishing to plant the naturalistic way.

  In this seminal book he shares his inspiration, philosophy and working methods. Discover how to `read' the landscape and create `designed plant communities' that feel right for your site and convincingly wild. Learn how to build up a planting using anchor and satellite plants and use the `Power of 3' principle to sustain interest throughout the year. This is a practical guide, amply supported by a wealth of case studies, illustrations, plans and diagrams.

  The exemplary work of this pioneering designer is instructive and inspirational to all who wish to build thriving plant communities that have close ties to nature and provide interest day in, day out and year after year.
