Rich lode for garden lovers colourful trees for landscapes and gardens
A review of Harry Oakman’s Rich Lode for Garden Lovers and Lotus Milne’s Living Plants of the World. Oakman, chief landscape architect, showcases 124 ornamental trees with photographs and a regional grouping by bloom or foliage, but the price seems high. Milne’s Living Plants of the World is lavish and broad, aimed at general readers rather than botanists, with introductory evolutionary context and diverse plant examples.
