First published as Beth Chatto's Woodland Garden by Cassell in 2002, this Pimpernel Classic edition includes a new afterword by David Ward, Garden and Nursery Director at Beth Chatto's Garden and a new introduction by Beth Chatto.

`Most gardens have dark areas - a north-facing border, an area shaded by a hedge, fence or house wall, a bed in the shade cast by shrubs or trees with greedy roots - and for many gardeners these are a challenge, and often a trial.

Fortunately there are plants adapted by Nature to a vast range of conditions and, by choosing suitable plants, we can transform almost any problem site into something beautiful.

' In this book legendary plantswoman Beth Chatto shows how the problem of shade in a garden can be turned to advantage.

She tells how she transformed a dark, derelict site into a woodland garden that is tranquil and serene yet full of life and interest in every season.

She describes, too, a wealth of plants that will thrive in shady beds and borders and on walls.
