    Must-have garden book for anyone who gardens in the shade.
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017*

This book promises everything in its subtitle: Dazzling Plants, Design Ideas, and Proven Techniques for Your Shady Garden.  The book is divided into sections, the first one stressing the importance of learning the shade patterns in your garden. Jenny Rose Carey describes the various types of shade and the plants that benefit from each kind.There is a section about soil and roots. I so agree with Jenny Rose Carey on the importance of adding organic matter to encourage root growth and promote healthy plants -- a great way to improve soil structure. She gives clear directions for making 'fabulous, friable, or crumbly leaf mold.' She explains the purpose of roots, reinforcing the importance of avoiding the application of high rates of fertilizer around trees in order to maintain a healthy relationship between microscopic fungi and roots. I learned some tips, such as building a tree pit to avoid smothering roots when I change the soil level with each new lasagna garden that I make.Jenny Rose Carey gives very inspirational descriptions of several design styles in her section called 'Designing in the Shadows: Bright Ideas for Shady Spaces.' She discusses woodland gardens, moss gardens, Japanese- or Chinese-inspired gardens, rock gardens, xeric gardens, tropical gardens, water gardens, walled or courtyard gardens, container gardens, and orchard gardens. Whew! In this section she also talks about designing with paths and includes gardens that attract wildlife. My personal favorite is about designing areas for children and I love the whimsical teapot water feature she added to her own garden.There is a gardener's calendar in one chapter and numerous techniques and maintenance tips in another. The gardener's calendar describes the garden through the year with tasks for each season. The maintenance chapter gives an in-depth guide to taking care of your shade garden. The final chapter tells you how to choose plants that thrive in the shade. Jenny Rose Carey describes 200 genera of plants with photographs for each genus. They are stunning.I love the 'substantial' feel of this volume with its glossy pages that are loaded with colorful illustrations. In this review I touch upon only a small fraction of the valuable information that the book contains. In every chapter, the author's voice comes through as passionate, enthusiastic and inspiring. It is as if Jenny Rose is speaking to the reader one-on-one. This is a perfect book for anyone who gardens in the shade.

    Great book for gardners who reside on both sides of the Atlantic & for those not bothered by high glare on every single page.
  

*by V***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018*

I must have ordered the wrong book.  So very disappointed.  Waaaaay too many pictures from England, Spain, etc.  As for places in the US, Pennsylvania is the state receiving most attention.  I was very wrong to assume that because this book was published in the same state in which I reside (Oregon), there would at least have the flavor of the Northwest.  Additionally, every page is printed on such shiny paper that the book is extremely difficult to read, the pictures difficult to appreciate.  The glare on the page was so great that it made for constant rearrangement of how I held the book in order to read even 2 facing pages.  Last but by no means least this product was printed in China.  To summarize:  I had waited with great anticipation for this book and found myself, sadly, disappointed.  If returning this book weren't such a hassle, & such an expense compared to price, I would return.

    ... our garden and I am always looking for a good guidebook on shade plants
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017*

We lave a lot of shade in our garden and I am always looking for a good guidebook on shade plants.  Such guidebooks are very hard to find, and the few I've read (before this one) have actually provided very little useful information.  I found Glorious Shade at the library, and after reading all the way through it, I had to order my own copy.This book is full of useful information about shade plants - it offers info on a huge variety of plants (trees, shrubs, flowers, color and leaf-shape varieties) with  lots of excellent color photos.  It also provides good amount of information about gardening successfully in shade areas.
