The Himalayan Garden by Jim Jermyn

The Himalayan Garden by Jim Jermyn

This book came out almost twenty years ago, in 2001, and the fantastic subtitle is Growing Plants from the Roof of the World. I love that subtitle.

Hortus raved about this book and said,

"If you are among those whose pulse-rate has been kick-started by the 'Subalpine Zone' chapter, then take care as you proceed to the one on the alpine zone: you may need oxygen to take in the contents of this high altitude chapter. . . .

Packed with useful and practical advice on how to establish and maintain these plants. . . .

A most useful reference, it will certainly earn its space on many a keen grower's shelves."

And boy, were they right. 

Jim Jermyn's The Himalayan Garden is 320 pages of know-how regarding cultivating species native to the Himalayas.

Only Jim could share these nuggets of Himalayan plant wisdom.

What are some Himalayan natives? Think Euphorbia, Gentiana, Meconopsis, Primula, Rhododendron, and more.

You can get a copy of The Himalayan Garden by Jim Jermyn and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20.
