description: The Natural Gardener is based on the BBC television series "The Flying Gardener," in which Chris Beardshaw looks at a variety of plants in their different habitats, revealing how nature achieves what the gardener strives for. He demonstrates how a knowledge of local conditions and climate can aid gardeners in selecting and cultivating plants for their own settings. He then identifies 5 types of garden, exploring each in detail, including practical information on the ideal situation, plants for each garden type, and tips on maintenance throughout the year. Lavishly illustrated with color photos, The Natural Gardener shows that the best gardeners are those who understand the importance of the conditions in which they work—and that the best teacher is nature itself.
