Description
Beth Chatto’s 1988 classic, The Dry Garden, remains a cornerstone for sustainable horticulture. Drawing from her own experiences transforming a parched, gravelly site in Essex, Chatto argues for “right plant, right place.” She provides a practical guide to selecting drought-resistant species that thrive without constant watering. Her prose combines horticultural expertise with aesthetic sensitivity, offering a blueprint for creating lush, vibrant gardens that remain resilient in the face of increasingly hot, dry climates.
