About this title

Review

Adding height to a garden couldn't be easier with climbers and ramblers. Whilst trees and shrubs can eventually contribute to a more upward vision, they can take several years to attain their height. Climbers on the other hand can make their presence felt within a season. From a tiny seed, bulb or pruned stump, they are capable of achieving 8-10 foot of upward growth in a very short space of time. As experienced gardener Barbara Abbs shows, there are more to climbers than just clematis, rose and honeysuckle. Ipomoeas, trachelospernums, hydrangeas, akebias and more, all waiting to add their presence to your garden. Not all are hardy and many die back in winter to recover their energy, ready for the big surge the following spring, but whether you just want summer floral, winter evergreen interest, scented flowers or autumn colour, you will find a good selection in this lavishly illustrated, well laid-out book. Full of hints, tips and cultivation advice together with design inspirations and climbing structures, this is an attractive work for those unsure of "Choosing and Using Climbing Plants". - Lucy Watson
