The Handbook of Native Trees and Shrubs

When the 1987 hurricane decimated the woods around her house, Charlotte de la Bedoyere replanted the area with native trees and was astonished at the transformation that took place. Inspired by this miracle, the author argues powerfully for the planting of truly native species in order to achieve the biodiversity that only they can support. This practical handbook catalogues all the native trees and shrubs that once covered most of Britain, and gives detailed advice on how to propagate, plant and protect them. Whether you are a gardener with a small area to spare, or a community planning a full-scale woodland, this book will be an invaluable resource, with its comprehensive advice and list of supportive organisations and suppliers.
