In this brand new edition of an Australian bestseller, author,
horticulturist and organic gardening expert Annette McFarlane
demonstrates how to help your garden flourish, no matter what your
climate or conditions. This comprehensive guide analyses the inherent
problems of tropical, subtropical, warm temperate and cool temperate

in each area. A philosophy of organics and water conservation permeates
this practical book, with a new chapter on waterwise gardening that is
specifically designed to help gardeners everywhere cope with drought.

preparation, mulching and pest and disease control will help you take an
organic approach to establishing and maintaining your garden. Successful
Gardening in Warm Climates also shows how to create an attractive and
productive garden, with a thorough guide to flower, herb, vegetable and
fruit growing and chapters dedicated to the culture of azaleas,

exotic plants. Extensively illustrated, this is an essential reference
book for Australian gardeners.
