What is a hardy plant? What is a hardiness zone? What conditions affect hardiness? Gardening expert Derek Fell answers these and other questions of gardeners living in a temperate climate.

Along with full color photographs of favorite annuals, bulbs, herbs, perennials, shrubs, trees, vegetables, fruits and nuts, the author includes: Botanical and common names; Zone ratings; Height, width and growth habits; Flower, fruit, vegetable and nut production; Suggested uses; Soil, water and sunlight requirements; Planting tips and combinations; Preferred species and hybrids.
