Weather in the Garden

Jane Taylor describes a wide range of ways in which gardeners can enhance plants' chances of survival, or their performance in flowering and fruiting, by exploiting and adapting garden microclimates. This book is the only one to look at the impact of weather on plants and gardens. It looks at how heat, cold, wind, water and drought affect plant life, and how climate both changes and is changed by local topography and soil type. It deals with the forms into which plants have evolved under the force of climatic conditions, and their adaptation to extremes of weather as well as - for example - day length or periodic fire. Finally, it lists a vast range of plants, both popular and exotic, giving details of their individual origins and climatic sensitivities. Weather in the Garden is lavishly provided with maps and charts, and will be useful to gardeners in all climates where gardening is possible, from the hottest and driest to the coldest and wettest.
