Hardy Perennial by Kate Harries
Hardy Perennial, A Journey Through the Seasons with a Fourth-generation Canadian Nurseryman by Kate Harries is the story of Keith Squires, whose Campbellville garden centre is a mecca for plant lovers.
Keith was 80 in 2008, when Kate followed him through the seasons for a year. He is a classic plant collector: his interests range all over the world, and hardy perennials are his speciality, the hardier the better.
