This comprehensive gardening guide begins with an introduction that lays the foundation for successful garden planning. It covers local climate considerations, different garden styles, spatial design, maintenance tips, and ways to attract wildlife.

The heart of the book is the detailed Plant Catalogue, organized into 13 chapters based on plant growth forms - including bulbs, orchids, aloes, shrubs, grasses, trees, and fynbos. Each section begins with practical advice on choosing, planting, feeding, and maintaining these plants, whether in garden beds or containers.

Each plant entry pairs a full-colour photograph with a concise description covering size, shape, flowering period, and ideal growing conditions, making it easy for readers to compare and choose suitable species.

To round off, a user-friendly Plant Selector helps gardeners identify the best plants for specific needs - from sunny borders and shady corners to water-wise features and container planting.

Compiled and edited over several years by a team of experts, this easy-to-use reference opens up a world of planting possibilities. Whether you're a seasoned horticulturist, a landscaper, a nursery professional, or simply a passionate home gardener, this book offers both inspiration and practical know-how.

Destined to become a go-to resource for local and international plant lovers alike, it’s a must-have for transforming any outdoor space into a thriving, beautiful garden.
