This book is a monumental and long-awaited guide, filling a critical gap for gardeners and landscape designers in the tropical region. As the first comprehensive book of its kind in about 50 years, it is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in creating and maintaining a garden in Sri Lanka's unique climate.

The book is exceptionally thorough, covering everything from the historical and cultural inspirations of garden design to the most practical aspects of horticulture.

A standout feature is the extensive selected list of over 350 plants suitable for all climatic zones of Sri Lanka, making plant selection scientifically informed and regionally appropriate.

Profusely illustrated with drawings and color photographs, and written by two highly qualified experts with deep roots in Sri Lankan botany, this book is the new definitive authority on the subject. It is a must-have for professional landscapers, dedicated home gardeners, and anyone with a passion for the rich horticultural heritage of Sri Lanka.
