Hi Everyone,
 
We have recently purchased a property in the Algarve (Southern Portugal) with a good sized garden that was established some 20/30 years ago. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how one looks at things it has been uncared for during the last five years or so. As a result there are orange, lemon and we believe apricot trees,  some interesting vines, together with two palms, oleanders, Italian Cypress, bougainvillea and other shrubs, some of which appear to be time expired or in need of love and attention. Presently living in a chilly grey UK we do not have much experience of tending, pruning or cultivating the aforementioned and whilst we do have one or two books on what one can consider planting there is no real depth in how to look after them thereafter. Can anyone suggest some titles, perhaps with any appropriate cataloguing and publication data that would enable us learn more, restore and develop the garden?
