Meadows

Everyone has at some time seen the most breathtaking of sights - a meadow of grasses and wildflowers.

The community created by flowers and grasses, butterflies, grasshoppers and other fauna, is rich and colourful, but fast disappearing. "Meadows" covers all aspects of the topic - from the romantic concept of the Swiss Alpine meadow and the man-made prairies of the USA to Dutch and German approaches to naturalistic plantings and the wildflowers of South Africa.

Full of practical information, this book is packed with all the advice for creating and maintaining your meadow that keen gardeners will crave.
