What our customers say...

“At last, a long overdue book on alpines from one of the country’s top alpine plantsmen. Easy to read,
well explained and presented with a good selection of photographs and illustrations. Plenty of advice
on the major pitfalls you are likely to encounter. Best of all, a mouth-watering, hand picked selection
of nearly 200 tried and tested species and varieties. Well worth the price.”

Mr D Jackson, Cumbria

“A friend lent me your book ‘Alpines - an essential guide’; which I read and, although an enthusiast for the last 30 years, was so impressed with the personal approach e.g ’ For the first five years at our nursery all cuttings were rooted in a cold frame…....’ that I promptly ordered my own copy and refer to it regularly.”

J. Buchanan, North Wales

“A book you can pick up again and again always finding something to learn. Very easy to read and understand. A winner - brilliant!”

P. Mitchell, Henllan, North Wales
