In this revised edition of Australian Plants for Mediterranean Climate Gardens (2003), the coauthor of the Encyclopedia of Australian Plants Suitable for Cultivation cites the growing awareness of the need to garden with rather than against prevailing conditions. Elliot offers advice on cultivating exotic-looking plants that should "transplant" well from southern Australia to other temperate and sub-tropical regions. The book includes color photographs, a guide for selecting plants for specific conditions/ situations, further reading, and a glossary of terms and plant name derivations.
