Gale Force Gardening

Gale Force Gardening is a book for coastal gardeners of all ages and levels of experience. It contains descriptions, cultural instructions and propagation methods for over 1,700 plants, chapters on creating shelter, improving drainage, pests and diseases, maintenance and gardening for wildlife, as well as a list of common names and a glossary of botanical terms.

“Marginal maritime climates used to be considered areas of the world where horticultural endeavours had never succeeded, and never would achieve success, but Rosa debunks these ideas. The book is filled with detailed, no-nonsense, easy-to-read and eminently practical advice, given with a wry sense of humour and uplifting optimism.”  Sue Pomeroy, creator of No.2 Durnamuck Garden, Ross-shire and previously curator of the South African collection at Inverewe Gardens.
