Booklist
For plant lovers who lament, "I can't have a garden, I have too much shade," Chatto casts welcome light on one of garden design's best-kept secrets: the wondrous diversity of shade-loving plants. Month by month, plant by plant, step-by-step, Chatto conducts a tour of the acreage of her British estate, where glades fetchingly dubbed the "Little Grassy Wood" and the "Long Shady Walk" abound with seemingly every form of tree, shrub, bulb, and perennial known to mankind. Renowned for her inspired use of plant material and innovative designs that impart beauty to the most difficult sites, Chatto is as prolific a garden writer as she is a gardener. Adding splendidly to her previous works, staples of the well-stocked garden library, Chatto teams with award-winning photographer Steven Wooster to dramatically chronicle many of the more than 500 plants she avows will flourish in some of nature's darkest spots. Interspersing details about the fauna that frolic amid the flora, Chatto describes this amazing bounty in poetic, nearly rhapsodic terms. Carol Haggas
