Overview

Gardener and plantsman Adrian Bloom literally breaks new ground telling the fascinating story of how he established a world-renowned garden from an empty meadow. Bloom recounts the creation of Foggy Bottom from its inception in 1967 and shares how the garden has evolved. Small plants become great trees, vistas are formed, and micro-climates are developed. Some plants thrive and some do not, as Bloom describes the challenge of finding the right plant for the right place.

Dramatic photographs encapsulate the garden as it is today, what it represents, and how plants behave.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
