Book Description

Publication Date: 5 Mar 2009 | Series: Greenfingers Guides

Water shortages can present problems to any gardener, no matter how experienced they are, however planting drought-resistant varieties allows even novices to achieve fantastic results with little effort and minimal watering.

With easy-to-follow information, this book allows you to tell at a glance which drought resistant plants most suit your garden environment and how best to care for them. Profiles for each plant contain useful, practical cultivation advice with all the details gardeners need.

Comprehensive and richly illustrated this is the perfect handbook given our modern climate, and fills a gap in the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars drought 29 Mar 2009

By Barry Mccance

Format:Paperback

Excellence reference book which was very useful when we decided to redesign our garden following the dry summers. Redesign generated following hose pipe ban and the hard work carrying watering cans round our garden. Easy to read and provides good relevant information. Very timely publication for those of us who are concerned with global warming and water conservation. Delighted to learn of the wide range of plants available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and clear 15 Nov 2012

By Relaxing

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I think this book is useful, not just for UK climates. I use it for a Med climate. I have not bought one of these guides before, but would purchase one of these guides again. Information is helpful and clear. Photos are useful.
