[Campo Girl]

Author: Anne Marie Arthur Charles, Vicomte De Noailles

The Mediterranean region allows truly exotic plants and fruits to be grown outdoors. This guide is an illustration of their beauty and extent. It includes a description of the gardens of the Cote d'Azur, with illustrations to show the splendour of their year-round colour. Roy Lancaster gives practical advice to those involved in planting and caring for gardens, and the A-Z section provides a guide to the varied varieties, many of which may be unfamiliar to the British gardener. A series of symbols provide a cross-check to hardiness in what can be a wide range of climatic conditions, and the index provides a guide to common names.
