Conifers are remarkable plants with, in many ways, more to offer than flowering plants. Perhaps their best feature is their ability to look good all year round. Conifers come in all shapes and sizes, from the tallest trees on earth to bushy shrubs and spreading ground covers. You can find almost any colour you want in the foliage of a conifer, from reds and blues to greens and golden-yellows. When planted together in a well-planned combination, conifers can provide a clump of vegetation that is colourful and stunning throughout the year.
Most conifers are very hardy, provided you choose the right plant for the right place. There are conifers that will grow in almost any climate - in the hot, human topics or on cold, snow-covered mountains. They provide us with all sorts of practical things, too, from timber for buildings and furniture to edible nuts and herbal medicines.
This book will open your eyes to a whole new world of gardening and ways to create something unique that will be the envy of all your neighbours and friends.
