CLIMBERS (COLOURFUL GARDENING)
Ross, Richard
1999 44592 Just what is a climber? Apart from the most obvious, ie: the strong, vertical growth habit, it should be said that climbers are extremely versatile and add interest and colour without taking up too much ground space. On the other hand, they can also be used for ground cover but are especially useful for disguising unsightly features such as fences and sheds, or softening harsh building materials such as concrete. They can also provide privacy, shade and shelter in built-up or exposed areas. But most important of all, it should not be forgotten that climbers are highly ornamental. This book is suitable for all gardeners, either first-time gardeners starting their planning or for the more experienced looking for new ideas. It is divided in to four sections: scented climbers, climbers for foliage, flowering climbers and tender climbers. Each chapter is concluded by an illustrated plant gallery showing the most colourful, hard-working and easy-to-grow climbers including unusual as well as common examples, and contains information on colour, height, hardiness and flowering season. The book finishes with a chapter containing all the information for planting and routine care of climbers. Author Richard Ross is an award-winning freelance journalist and writer who has written books and has contributed to several newspapers and magazines. The book is beautifully and lavishly illustrated with visually stunning photographs by the renowned father and son Harpur team. Father Jerry is a leading award-winning garden photographer and he has contributed to many prestigious publications. Son Marcus was originally a publishing editor, and together they run the Harpur Garden Picture Library. All in all, this book lives upto its billing as "an inspiring and accessible guide to using climbers to transform your garden into a vibrant and colourful haven". Other titles in the series cover perennials, bulbs and roses. --Susan Naylor Synopsis Well-chosen climbers bring unrivalled colour, exuberance and drama into any garden, transforming the dullest plot. The chapters focus on scented climbers, climbers for foliage, flowering climbers and tender climbers.' Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd 1-900518-80-5 / 9781900518802
