Mediterranean garrigue landscapes are extraordinarily beautiful:
alternating mounds of silver and green, textured leaves, flashes of
colour and intoxicating scents combine to delight the senses and
rival any cultivated garden with half the work. This book offers
inspiration and expert advice on growing the plants and adopting a
new more natural way of gardening. Mediterranean plants are diverse
and adapted to a wide range of environments and weather conditions.
They are of course ideally suited to regions which experience long
periods of seasonal drought but many will also withstand periods of
high rainfall and extreme cold making this book essential reading
for temperate-zone gardeners seeking the Mediterranean look. Some
understanding of plant ecology is essential for success and Filippi
shares his expert knowledge acquired from decades of research. How
a plant interacts with its environment, other plants, and other
living things indicates what it needs to flourish in a garden
setting. Filippi's pioneering approach makes for a much closer
relationship between gardener and nature that puts few demands on
natural resources. Over 400 fascinating photographs capture the
effortless beauty of natural plant communities and show gardeners
how different gardens can be.
