This volume demonstrates how to derive maximum beauty from minimum space by gardening upwards. Fully illustrated, the book explores a wealth of ways in which climbers, hanging plants and other plants grown vertically can enhance any garden. Variations on the vertical theme include wall gardens, hanging gardens, staircase gardens, pergolas, arbours and colonnades. A plant directory section covers more than 150 plants especially appropriate for vertical gardening. An additional probabilities section provides advice on a range of horticultural and structural topics, from pruning to trelliswork.
