Author Description

In this inspiring and practical book Richard Bird, himself the fortunate owner of a large woodland, shows how woodland conditions can be created with the help of just one tree or a few shrubs and the careful preparation of the soil to simulate that found beneath and around trees in the wild. By providing this dappled shade the area will become a happy home to a whole host of beautiful plants that give year-round interest in the form of flowers, fruit and leaf-shapes, and which thrive in the cool, humus-rich soil.
