PART IV – Beyond the Walls of the Garden

Anyone who has attempted to develop a beautiful and long-lasting garden know that you cannot relax just because your first rhododendrons are blooming, and you have harvested your first sweet oranges. A garden needs constant attention and influences from far away will be imperative. Chapter 11 to 13 are there to provide a future perspective and inspiration and also to attempt to answer the typical “Now what?” question.
