Praise for the print edition of Plants for Problem Places

You can give up your home and move to a better garden site, or turn your liabilities into assets. Graham Rice makes a case for the latter in this delightfully written, well-organised primer... Should lighten the spirits of those disheartened by vexing gardens. Linda Yang, New York Times

This is a wonderful little book that is the ultimate guide to knowing what to plant… The author is a great help, often giving exact cultivars of plants that will work for your problem spot. Seems to me any book by Graham Rice is amazingly researched and written in a sprightly style that's easy to read yet wonderfully instructive. Good for beginners as well as advanced gardeners. Gardening Girl, amazon.com Customer Review

‘Advice is put over simply and unpretentiously.’ Garden Answers magazine

‘Throughout, one hears the voice of experience bringing confidence in the advice.’ The Garden magazine
