Greative Gardening with Indigenous Plants: A South Afrcan Guide
Share
South Africa possesses the world's largest variety of indigenous plants. In this title, the auhor brings together a collection of indigenous trees, shrubs, climbers and flowering plants to give local gardeners the opportunity to fully appreciate and utilise this treasure chest of indigenous flora. The title includes not only established favourites but also many lesser-known species that will amaze the reader with their beauty and diversity. The title covers more than 300 species of indigenous plants in detail, with descriptive text and more than full-colour photographs for easy identification. Detailed species accounts include a description of the plant, advice on how to cultivate it in the garden, information on the uses of each plant as well as the plant's natural distribution and habitat. A distribution maps show the natural range of each plant, while a range of icons offers an easy overview of the plant's size and shape, its cultivation requirements, uses, flower colour, flowering time and other special features.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
