[David Ward · Rating 3 out of 5]

Encyclopedia of Planting Combinations by Tony Lord (Firefly Books 2002)(635.9)is a huge book of plant combo suggestions. It's odd, though, in that the author has chosen a very eclectic (and very British) list of plants for which matches should be found. I found this book to be pretty but generally not useful for my purposes. My rating: 4.5/10, finished 5/17/2012.
