Most gardens do not have smooth, flat lawns and borders of rich,
easily dug soil. We have to put up with damp, sunless corridors
between houses, awkward slopes or plots shaded by trees or
neighbouring buildings. Equally difficult to plant are seaside
gardens exposed to gale-force winds and salt spray; waterlogged
plots, where the drainage is poor; and dry ground exposed to the
glare of the sun day after day, without the slightest shade. In
short, few gardens benefit from perfect conditions. What you need
for these sites are tough plants that will not only shrug off all
the worst conditions in your garden but will actually thrive in
them. Tough Plants for Tough Places includes a directory of nearly
100 plants that are practically invincible in the specific hostile
conditions they have evolved to cope with.
