Geographically, South Africa is a diverse country with many different climatic zones. As a gardener, it is important to understand how to achieve and maintain a beautiful garden no matter what your natural environment and ground conditions are. Gardening in South Africa Throughout the Year explains what needs to be done each month to keep your garden in tiptop condition. In addition to month by month suggestions for general gardening tasks in the various climatic regions, and tips on how to keep up productive kitchen and fruit gardens, the text covers how to utilise the specific elements of each season (foliage in autumn, the sculptural qualities of bare trees in winter, spring bulbs and fragrant plants for summer) to create a garden that has colour and interest all year round.
