About the Book

Climbing plants are among the most versatile plants in the garden, but they are often overlooked, as gardeners are unaware of where they might be used. This practical guide shows how to choose and use climbers, with details of how to plant, train, support and care for them, and how to select the right plants for different soils and situations. The title includes chapters on designing with climbers, with suggestions on how to change a garden's appearance with colour or how to create a particular atmosphere. There is also advice on how to solve design problems with climbers, such as screening unsightly brickwork or creating focal points. The guide shows how, for those who are impatient and on a budget, using quick growing climbers is an ideal way to create seclusion, increase interest and add height to a garden. For those who want to build special features on which to display climbers, there are a number of practical projects included. There are even suggestions for where vegetable or indoor gardeners may make use of climbers. The guide provides a wealth of information on this varied group of plants and should instruct even the most novice gardener of how to beautify their plot rapidly with the minimum of expense.

Table of Contents:
Choosing and caring for climbers; colouring with climbers; designing with climbers; practical solutions; classic combinations; edibles; plants for warm places; plant directory.

Review :
Adding height to a garden couldn't be easier with climbers and ramblers. Whilst trees and shrubs can eventually contribute to a more upward vision, they can take several years to attain their height. Climbers on the other hand can make their presence felt within a season. From a tiny seed, bulb or pruned stump, they are capable of achieving 8-10 foot of upward growth in a very short space of time. As experienced gardener Barbara Abbs shows, there are more to climbers than just clematis, rose and honeysuckle. Ipomoeas, trachelospernums, hydrangeas, akebias and more, all waiting to add their presence to your garden. Not all are hardy and many die back in winter to recover their energy, ready for the big surge the following spring, but whether you just want summer floral, winter evergreen interest, scented flowers or autumn colour, you will find a good selection in this lavishly illustrated, well laid-out book. Full of hints, tips and cultivation advice together with design inspirations and climbing structures, this is an attractive work for those unsure of "Choosing and Using Climbing Plants". - Lucy Watson
