Book Description
Both fascinating and practical, this book examines the impact of weather on plants and gardens. It looks at how heat, cold, wind, water, and drought affect plant life, and how climate both changes and is changed by local topography and soil type.
About the Author
Jane Taylor has herself gardened in a wide variety of climates and is the author of many acclaimed books on gardening. Graham Stuart Thomas wrote of her Gardening in the Shade: 'it will undoubtedly become the standard work on the subject'. Reviewing The Milder Garden, Hortus placed her among the handful of garden writers who' leave one...eagerly looking to their next book'; and called Gardening in the Shade 'an eminently readable book...packed, as we have come to expect, with the fruits of her experience in growing many unusual and unusually desirable sounding plants under a wide variety of conditions'. Jane Taylor wrote the Kew Gardening Guide to Climbing Plants, contributed The Shady Garden to the series published by the Royal Horticultural Society, and was also a major contributor to the Reader's Digest's A Garden for All Seasons.
