Earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper. Near fine condition. "South Africa's rich regional diversity makes local gardening a huge challenge. Based on ecological principles regarding regional indigenous gardening, the aim of this book is to simplify gardening and to make it as cost effective and maintenance free as possible for all South African gardeners, indigenous plant lovers and landscapers. We all want instant gardens - and we can have them! So many people have asked me to explain indigenous gardening principles: which indigenous plants would thrive in the region in which they live, and what is the correct planting sequence; how can they efficiently develop a well-balanced, low-maintenance garden, which will reflect the character of the region? This book answers all of these questions, and more, providing the reader with valuable advice and information on the planning and establishment of an indigenous, waterwise garden.".…

"The secret of waterwise gardening is to know what vegetation region we live in and to choose plant species which are suited to that region. Plants that are indigenous to an area do not need additional watering; they are already adapted to the prevailing climate and weather conditions and should thrive under all but the most exceptional of circumstances. When we garden in harmony with nature we are working with the elements, not against them. Waterwise Gardening in South Africa and Namibia is aimed at anyone who wants to create a new garden or convert an existing one to waterwise principles. The content focuses on South Africa's vegetation regions: Fynbos, Strandveld-fynbos and Succulent Karoo for the winter-rainfall areas; and Highveld, Bushveld, Thicket and Karoo for the summer-rainfall regions; as well as the forests and subtropical coastal belt, the Namib desert, and indigenous house plants. Recommended species are listed under horticultural categories such as trees and shrubs, annuals, architectural plants and aquatic plants, enabling you to choose what will work best in your particular environment. With the right plants in place, your garden will soon be manageable, beautiful and sustainable - as nature intended it to be.".…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Seventh Edition. Agter op boek: Die stortvloed navrae van besoekers aan Kirstenbosch oor die beste plekke om vetplante in hul natuurlike omgewing te sien en te geniet, het Ernst van Jaarsveld laat besluit om dié gebruikersvriendelike boek vir die amateur-vetplantentoesias te skryf. Met die hulp van kenners Ben-Erik van Wyk - Professor in Botanie aan RAU, en Gideon Smith - Professor en Navorsingsdirekteur van die Nasionale Botaniese Instituut, het Ernst van Jaarsveld hierdie insiggewende gids tot die vetplante en vetplantstreke van Suid-Afrika saamgestel. Hier word Suid-Afrika verdeel in 16 geografiese streke, en die vetplantskatte van elke streek word uitgelig en geïllustreer. Die boek bevat nie slegs 'n magdom inligting oor die plante nie, maar bied die leser ook nuttige advies oor plekke om te besoek en roetes om te volg om die vetplantverskeidenheid van elke streek ten volle te ervaar. Hierdie komplekse en interessante ekologiese plantgroepering en die streke waarin hulle voorkom, word pragtig geïllustreer met behulp van Elise Bodley se 20 handgeskilderde illustrasies en pragfoto's deur Ernst van Jaarsveld en Ben-Erik van Wyk. Ernst van Jaarsveld is voltyds kurator van die kweekhuis by die Kirstenbosch Nasionale Botaniese Tuin in Kaapstad. Die Kweekhuis is die eerste van sy soort in die geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika en huisves al die land se vetplantstreke onder een dak, met voorbeelde wat wissel van die kleinste (Conophytum-spesies) tot die grootste (die kremetart - Adansonia digitata) in hul natuurlike habitats wat herskep is in die 'glashuis', soos dit alom bekend staan. Akkedisse, geitjies, skilpaaie en ander klein diertjies - so noodsaaklik in die ekologie van vetplantomgewings - word ook goed hier verteenwoordig. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 144 bladsye, uitmuntende tekeninge en kleur fotos ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
