Climbing plants provide some of the most magnificent sights in our gardens, from rose-clad arches and house walls draped in wisteria to delicate clematis growing through an old tree. The majority of gardens have boundary walls or fences, arches or pergolas over which to grow climbers and in many town gardens the vertical space is all-important. Selecting the right subjects is crucial and 'Gardening with Climbers' helps you to choose climbing plants for every purpose. You may want a deciduous twining plant such as golden hop or a vine to give summer shelter over a pergola, an evergreen climber like ivy to cover an unsightly building, or scented honeysuckles and roses to drapes over an arch or plant near a seat.
The first section of the book discusses the appeal and the requirements of different kinds of climber and makes suggestions for exciting plant associations for well-loved species. It also gives practical guidelines on the cultivation of climbers, including pruning as well as training and support. The introduction is illustrated throughout with inspiring colour photographs of climbers in a variety of garden situations, enhancing walls and buildings or camouflaging less attractive structures.
The comprehensive directory, illustrated with glorious colour photographs, describes the many climbing species suitable for growing in our gardens. For each, a detailed description is given, as well as cultivation requirements and season of interest. In addition to chapters on the wide range of temperate evergreen climbers which, in temperate gardens, can bring a tropical feel to a conservatory. With its alphabetical listings and inclusion of the latest varieties and cultivars, the directory is both easy to use and totally up-to-date.
All these features make this an invaluable reference book and source of inspiration for anyone wishing to choose the right climbers and ensure that they have maximum impact in the garden.
