Embark on a horticultural journey with two of the world's most influential garden designers, Piet Oudolf and Henk Gerritsen, as they unveil their selection of ideal plants for your natural garden. This comprehensive guide meticulously categorises 1,200 perennials, bulbs, grasses, ferns and small shrubs according to their behaviour, strengths and applications.

The authors' innovative approach to gardening eschews the conventional pursuit of bold, colourful blooms that require vigorous pruning post-flowering. Instead, they champion plants that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust and self-sufficient, thriving with minimal intervention and without the need for artificial fertilisers or pesticides. Their focus on selecting plants primarily for their form—including leaves, flower heads and stems—ensures year-round visual interest.

This invaluable resource offers:

• A curated selection of 1,200 plants favoured by top garden designers
• Detailed descriptions and cultivation instructions
• A novel classification system based on growth patterns and garden usage
• Guidance on natural gardening techniques
• Over 250 full-colour photographs

Armed with this expert knowledge and plant selection, you'll be equipped to create a thriving garden that harmonises with nature, attracting a diverse array of insects and birds. It's elementary, my dear gardener—your dream of a truly natural garden is about to become a reality.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
