>Can anyone recommend some good books about South African gardens and parks, >both private and public? >Thanks. >Nancy Traill (ntraill@yorku.ca) Yes! Any of the late Sima Eliovson's 20 books are outstanding and very up to date. Also fine is The A-Z of Garden Flowers in South Africa. and The Proteaceae of So. Africa. All full of first rate information. Good luck in finding these and other treasures. MB
