Gardening in A Hot Climate - Julie Lake (Hardback)
$20
SHIPPING OFFERED
'Gardening in A Hot Climate' by Julie Lake in very good condition.
Julie Lake is a Queensland based horticultural writer and consultant and as such is well qualified to provide helpful advise to those of us dealing with sub-tropical and tropical climates.
Of course a large part of the book is concerned with the plants that thrive in these conditions with most being readily available from nurseries. With ease of maintenance being essential for even the most dedicated hot weather gardener she emphasises an energy saving approach, though flower beds are covered too. The directory of garden styles includes the low maintenance garden, and also shady, tropical and rainforest gardens, gardens by the sea and in dry inland areas, the neutral look, and how to create an instant garden. She also offers practical ideas for coping with special problems that extremes of climate can bring, from stormwater to wind and sun protection.
Sections of the book include:- Creating a garden in a hot climate; Directory of garden styles; Garden design challenges; Plant directory; Walls 'n' floors; A Productive garden; Pottering about; and Caring for your garden.
This informative 240 page book was published by Lothian Books in 1996. ISBN 0-85091-640-2. [Approx 28 x 22 x 1.9cms & 915g]. Now out of print and expensive if you can find it.
As you'll see from the photos, the book itself is in very good condition with pages clean and tightly bound. The dust cover is in good shape too with a little fading due to sunlight on the back and some evidence of use...mainly a little creasing/rubbing along the top edges around the spine with a tiny tear [could easily be addressed with a bit of tape].
Also have other gardening books listed separately at present.
Please note:-
- Inspections welcome.
- Best to phone [three&two zero&nine seven&one eight&two] if you are keen to collect. I don't use a mobile and often only get to check messages late in the evening, so please check your email for replies [they sometimes end up in your Spam folder].
- No Paypal [sorry]
