A naturalist introduces the classical Greek term praus, connoting gentleness plus resilience, in describing weather elements that impact plants and buffers against such gardening challenges (e.g., creating healthy soil, identifying microclimates). Smith then presents a selection of 100 weather-rated plants from annuals to trees. The guide includes b&w illustrations, inter-planted facts and tips, resources, further reading, and the USDA hardiness zone map. Indexing is by botanic-to-common plant name and general subject.
