It was informed by her own practical experiences of gardening in eastern England. It has a general account of the development of her large garden in the 1970s, advice on clearing ground and preparing to plant and a very useful list and informative discussion in alphabetical order of plants recommended for dry situations. Although these are suggestions from the 1970s the range of plants available now hasn’t really changed that much, whatever the horticultural trade with its endless new introductions intended to part us with our cash might like us to believe.As seems to be the tradition with grand garden writers, plants’ names are given in botanical Latin which makes it a slog to read. My edition of the book has the original grainy black and white photos from the 1970s which will disappoint if you’re expecting the lavish full colour photos we’re now accustomed to in gardening books. While owning this good will give you some serious garden credentials, if you’re just looking for suggestions for a few plants for dry situations try Google or the RHS Plants for Places book instead. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Dated by the black and white pictures *by H***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 July 2017* Beth Chatto has a very engaging writing style and there is a wealth of information in the book. However it is an old book, so has only a few black and white photos in the centre. If like me you are a novice gardener then the plant names don't mean much without supporting pictures. I have given this book to my horticultural friend who is really enjoying it. I have bought Drought Resistant Planting also by Beth Chatto which suits me much better as it's full of beautiful colour pictures to bring the text to life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Garden book *by T***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2020* It quite a good book, with a lot of information, but it is all in black and white and the pictures and very blured. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dry Garden - Drought-Resistant Planting: Lessons from Beth Chatto's Gravel Garden - Beth Chatto's Gravel Garden: Drought-Resistant Planting Through the Year --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/74854012-the-dry-garden](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/74854012-the-dry-garden) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
