Author Description

For most people, flowers represent the chief purpose and the most rewarding aspect of gardening, but the range of flowers available today can be bewildering. This book explores the contemporary wealth of garden flowers, distinguishing the various kinds according to their garden value, and describing their appropriate cultivation and care. Andi Clevely advises on how to use a variety of flowering plants to best effect around the garden and throughout the year, and offers tips and professional insights to help enhance their performance, whether alone or in combination with congenial neighbours. Here is everything you need to know about how to enjoy flowers in your garden. The book follows the same principles as the first four books in the series, Water in the Garden, Patios, City Garden and Plants in Pots: explores the essential features of the subject; provides everything you need to know about it; written intelligently and creatively with a firmly practical focus; explains in straightforward language; stands out with an attractive contemporary design.
