Climbing Gardens by Joan Clifton
Gardening in the vertical plane can transform the dullest plot, giving it vital style and structure; this is the garden source book that shows you how. Packed with planting ideas and practical advice, Climbing Gardens explores the full potential of all types of planting supports, from simple latticework and tension wiring to pergolas, metal frames and living sculptures. It explains how you can use them to create different garden styles and moods, preserve privacy, increase the feeling of space, focus the eye and add some exuberant colour. With a comprehensive directory of the best plants for vertical supports, and with key projects illustrated in step-by-step photographs, Climbing Gardens provides both inspiring ideas and the practical know-how to realise them in your own garden - whether you want a cool, contemporary tableau or a sweep of rose-swathed pillars
