Like touring Ruth Bancroft's aarden.
Ruth was a trendsetter in appreciating succulent plantings. Now her garden is a landmark must see for cactus fans. If you can't go in person, buy this book!!!! The photos are in depth and very descriptive. The plantings help to reveal her thought processes over the years and how her collection grew with new acquisitions. Like taking a tour in book form.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
