RECENZJE

„It is a hugely useful publication with a great deal of information, which I would recommend.  I love the little diags of people standing next to plant silhouettes, all the more so since the human figures are not all the same. It is comprehensive and very thorough.”

„In my search for suitable plants for garden compositions, I turn first and foremost to proven sources. The new edition of the ‘Plant Catalogue’ includes species and varieties available on the Polish market and interesting novelties that have appeared in recent years. I am pleased that the authors have focused not only on detailed descriptions of the appearance of plants but also suggest practical applications in the garden and how to care for them in an ecological manner. The catalogue is a tool that inspires me when writing articles, but I also use it on a daily basis – when creating my own garden.”

„The new edition of the “Cataloque of proven plants” is a comprehensive yet compact handbook that presents all species/varieties of trees, shrubs and perennials available on the Polish market. Many authors – tree nursery practitioners, planners, breeders, scientists and gardening enthusiasts – have compiled their knowledge here with great attention to detail. Each individual variety is accompanied by a photo and a description of its growth characteristics, site requirements and use in the garden. Each chapter – from conifers to fruit trees – is preceded by helpful tips on planting, care and plant combinations. There is also a chapter on plant protection, including biological control, as well as inspiration for garden design. A beautiful, useful reference book that is a pleasure to use when buying plants or planning a garden!
