Award-winning author Rice has written more than 20 books that speak to
gardeners on both sides of the Atlantic. He tackles the garden's heart
of darkness: dry shade, the space under trees or overhangs where plants
go to die from lack of light and water. This man has ideas to change
that; his experience includes training at the Royal Botanic Gardens in
Kew, England, which has plenty of trees casting shade. He goes into
detail that helps gardeners better understand the situation and possible
solutions: not all shade is the same; some mulches are better than
others. The heart of the book profiles more than 130 plants that are
made in the shade. Little is written on this common and trying garden
condition, as his reading list indicates, so Rice fills a need. Owners
of shaded gardens, rejoice. Includes 125 color photos. (Aug.) Copyright
