"Marcelle Monfries, formerly of the Ryde School of Horticulture has written several books and numerous articles on every aspect of ornamental horticulture.  this one is designed to fill a surprising gap in the information readily available to the home gardener and to those who live in units and whose garden is restricted to the balcony.  And a very useful book it is too.
It is really an "everything you always wanted to know" book with chapters on the problems of soil enrichment, the establishment of new gardens and the remodelling of old ones, plus an extensive list of plant descriptions, often accompanied by a colour photograph or one of Judy Cuppaidge's careful and sharply defined drawings, and much more."
