Making a garden that can withstand summer drought without being
watered is the dream of many who wish to garden in harmony with the
environment. In this classic work on gardening in dry climates,
first published in 2008, Olivier Filippi offers practical advice to
achieve this goal based on his, and his wife Clara's, experience of
working with mediterranean-region plants for over 30 years. The
first part of the book examines the behaviour of plants that face
drought in their natural habitat. What is drought and how do plants
manage to survive when little water is available? The second part
is concerned with gardening techniques in a dry climate. How do you
prepare the soil, when do you plant, how do you maintain a dry
garden? The third and longest part describes in detail no less than
500 rewarding plants that are marvellously well adapted to dry
gardens. This book is essential reading for gardeners who live in
one of the world's mediterranean climate zones and will also be of
interest to gardeners in areas where drought is becoming a
recurring problem. Armed with a new palette of plants and liberated
from the hose and the sprinkler this book invites you on a
pioneering adventure that paves the way to a new style of
gardening.
