Amidst climate change, water is an important consideration in Mediterranean and dry climate gardens. We like to grow beautiful and healthy plants in our gardens, but with reducing rainfall the plants available to us are changing. This book is a comprehensive guide to choosing plants that will flourish in your specific climate and during water shortages. These plants, both well known and unusual, are suitable for growing in Mediterranean or other warm, dry gardens, with little watering.
A particular appeal of the book is that alongside the well-known stapes of mediterranean gardens it lists many plants which even experienced and knowledgeable gardeners are unlikely to have come across. This makes browsing rather fun…Besides trees, shrubs, climbers, perennials, annuals and bulbs, [the author] tempts us with luscious bromeliads, cactuses, grasses, palms, proteas, sub-shrubs, succulents and even epiphytes. There is a real wealth of new ideas here, for most of us. -- Alisdair Aird, Mediterranean Garden Journal * Mediterranean Garden Journal *
