Water-Wise Plants for Mediterranean Gardens

Amidst climate change, water is an important consideration in Mediterranean and dry climate gardens. We like to grow beautiful and healthy plants in our gardens, but with reducing rainfall the plants available to us are changing. This book is a comprehensive guide to choosing plants that will flourish in your specific climate and during water shortages. These plants, both well known and unusual, are suitable for growing in Mediterranean or other warm, dry gardens, with little watering.
