LORRAINE CAVANAGH'S
A comprehensive guide to over 350 plants which are best suited to a Mediterranean climate. This book provides full cultural details, size and suitability, pruning, propagation and problems. It helps you to select your plant, accurately identify it in Latin, English or Spanish common names and keep it growing strongly and healthily in your garden.
This is a great book for those who need to know the plants that will grow in Mediterranean gardens. The layout is excellent, with each plant having a half page picture, then a summary about height, water, etc etc. On the opposite page is some info about the plant for pruning, soil, history, all sorts really.
Clearly laid out in alphabetical order, it also has the spanish name - invaluable if like me you want it for spain. This has enabled me to plan and plant some great shrubs in the right places and knowing whether they would shed their leaves and how much care they need.
If, like me, you are a bit of a novice, this will give a great introduction to 350 plants that can really make the most of your garden.
