| "Bamboo expert and aficionado Ted Jordan Meredith provides a thorough and multifaceted treatment of these ancient grasses, covering origins and history, structure and form, cultivation and propagation, landscaping, and taxonomy and identification. He offers insight into selecting the right plant for the right situation, and presents useful advice on the best methods for containing potentially invasive forms." "The bulk of the book is an encyclopedia of bamboo genera, species, and cultivars. More than 300 bamboos from 40 genera are described in detail, providing information on size, lighting and temperature requirements, native range, physical characteristics, and landscape and other uses. Meredith's excellent color photos and clear line drawings effectively illustrate both the details and broader effects of these exquisite plants." Whether you are a home gardener or a professional grower, Bamboo for Gardens tells you all you need to know to bring bamboo into your life and landscape. |

| Notes |
| If you want to use bamboo in your landscape this is a highly recommended book. It is packed with really solid information. I really like this one. It also includes very good bibliographical references (p. 387-398) that will surely lead you to many other books and articles. The downside is that many of them are either out of print, difficult to find, or expensive. |
