Many plants that grow happily on the Highveld, for example, or in the leafy suburbs, shrivel and die when exposed to windborne salt or harsh light reflected off the sea. But this does not mean that coastal gardens have to be bleak and boring; quite the contrary, in fact. The key is to understand your immediate environment and choose plants that will flourish in those conditions.
Coastal Gardening in South Africa is a guide to creating a thriving garden, whether you live on the arid ‘Weskus’, subtropical KZN or anywhere inbetween.

Many plants that grow happily on the Highveld, for example, or in the leafy suburbs, shrivel and die when exposed to windborne salt or harsh light reflected off the sea.

Coastal Gardening in South Africa is a guide to creating a thriving garden, whether you live on the arid ‘Weskus’, subtropical KZN or anywhere inbetween.
Although this book only has 160 pages, it is jam-packed with excellent information and high quality photographs. Gardening in coastal areas is a challenge which this book addresses by the provision of plant lists depending on proximity to the ocean, wind and soil. It also includes a month-by-month feature providing information on jobs to be done, tips and planting schedules by height and colour of recommended plants. If you know of any keen gardeners or someone who has just purchased a coastal holiday home, this should be on the top of your gift list!
