Summary

When Nicola Ferguson first started gardening, she couldn't find a book that would help her with her new, cold, shady garden, so she wrote one herself.

Author Biography

Nicola Ferguson was born in 1949 and brought up in Northern Ireland. She has a PhD in psychology, and she has also become an experienced gardener. She now lives with her husband and one daughter in Edinburgh, where they have a north facing, high-walled garden.
