Mediterranean Gardening - Hardcover
A guide to gardening in the Mediterranean, this book aims to be practical and provide a source of quick solution to most horticultural problems. Gardeners familiar with gardening in cooler climates, but unfamiliar with the possibilities and problems of more congenial ones, may find it useful. The author describes climatic variations, the character of different types of soil found and explains the particular problems of making a garden from scratch. Individual chapters are devoted to water gardens, lawns and so on. A whole chapter is devoted to the subject of plants that withstand prolonged periods of drought. Detailed advice, with local names in the major languages, is given on weedkillers, pests and diseases. The final section of the book is an extensive plant list, illustrated with drawings specially commissioned for the book. It gives details of hardiness, soil requirements and methods of cultivation, paying particular attention to those tender plants which most gardeners from cooler climates have no experience of growing.
