Climbers are delightful plants and can be very useful in the garden. No other group of plants can provide so much colour and foliage interest in such a small planting space. Climbers can be used to shade large outdoor areas or can be kept confined to an indoor hanging basket. Their versatility in the garden seems almost unlimited.
This book tells you what to train on a trellis, how to screen an ugly fence and how to create a shady pergola or romantic arbour. There are chapters on climbers for colour and fragrance, indoor and outdoor potplants, ground covers, problem climbers - even some edible climbers! Alternatives are given for all climates, so whether you live in the tropics or in a cool climate, there's a climber to suit you.
An A-Z guide to the ornamental climbers covered in the book is included for easy reference, and the 28 colour photographs will inspire you to start your own climbing garden.
