Other lists

  Forage from early spring to late autumn, with each plant's flowering months stated.

• Drought tolerant plants

• Evergreen plants

  What holds a garden together from November to March, when the rest of it is underground.

• Plants for a hedge

  Species that take clipping and close into a line, with the mature height of each.

• Plants safe with children and pets

  Nothing toxic and nothing thorny: the list a garden with a toddler or a dog starts from.

• Plants for pots

  For a terrace or a balcony, where the soil ends at the wall of the pot and water goes twice as fast.
