Ivies

This is a beautiful book, great as a gift, and perfect as a coffee-table book because of its glossy photos and large dimensions. I wish there was a photo here because I love the jacket. Inside are ten informative chapters filled with whimsical photos that made we want to run out and buy an ivy plant. The chapters are "Ivy and Its Mythology," "Ivy in the Landscape," "Ivies in the Garden: The Vertical Dimension," "Ivies in the Garden: The Horizontal Dimension," "Ivies in Containers," "Ivy Topiary," "Companions for Ivy," "Ivy Indoors," "Culitivation and Propagation," and "The Ivy Chart." It's a lovely book even if you have no intention of growing ivy.
