Scottish Plants for Scottish Gardens
Jill Hamilton
Until now it has been very difficult for Scots to unravel their plant heritage. Owing to the extraordinary geological and climatic variety, Scotland boasts a great diversity of over a thousand indigenous plants, and a multitude of these would make a welcome addition to any Scottish garden.

Magnus Magnusson KBE '…a valuable and illuminating work… beautifully illustrated and exhaustively informative.'
