The Plantfinder's Guide to Garden Ferns by Martin Rickard

The Plantfinder's Guide to Garden Ferns provides a comprehensive introduction to ferns. From dramatic giant tree ferns to delicate filigreed maidenhairs, authoritative descriptions and cultivation requirements are accompanied by inspirational photographs. In addition, ideas for using ferns in the garden reveal that they are not just the stalwarts of difficult shady borders, but are also capable of making a stunning contribution in any situation, including dry or damp shade, sunny sites and wet, boggy areas. Martin Rickard's infectious enthusiasm for his subject shines through in his lucid text and will easily persuade every gardener that what their garden most needs is ferns. For established enthusiasts, the temptation to grow more ferns is made even more compelling by the striking selection of photographs.
