About this title

Synopsis

"The Vanishing Garden" is for all those who are concerned about the future of our cultivated plants. It draws attention to the serious threat facing them and shows how many garden plants are in danger of disappearing and how many may have been lost forever. Based on 80 plant genera, the book describes several hundred endangered species and varieties and illustrates what steps can be taken to safeguard them.
