Condition: BRAND NEW

Overview:
Dream Plants For The Natural Garden and 365 Days Of Colour In Your Garden come together in a premium hardback two-book collection that every serious gardener will want on their shelf. Dream Plants For The Natural Garden is a definitive reference that organises 1200 plants by their behaviour, strengths and uses, guiding you to choose specimens that look beautiful and perform reliably with minimal input. Co-authored by renowned garden designers Henk Gerritsen and Piet Oudolf, the book champions a planting philosophy built on form—leaves, flower heads and stems alike—so borders retain beauty through every season. Paired with 365 Days Of Colour In Your Garden, this duo provides a visually rich, practical blueprint for achieving a colour-packed garden all year round. From spring blossoms to winter silhouettes, you’ll find design ideas, planting lists and maintenance tips that translate into lush, low-effort landscapes. This collection suits naturalistic garden lovers and anyone who wants enduring beauty without constant pruning or fuss.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This isn’t just two guides; it’s a cohesive design toolkit. Dream Plants gives you a robust framework for selecting plants by form and seasonality, ensuring structure and texture even when blooms fade. 365 Days translates that framework into a practical year-long colour plan, with month-by-month ideas and lists for borders, pots and small spaces. Read together, they guide you from concept to cultivation, helping you build a unified garden narrative rather than juggling disparate ideas. The set also makes a thoughtful gift for aspiring designers, keen home gardeners or BookTok fans who crave beautiful, durable garden knowledge you can trust.
