Understanding your plants
In Module 1 we said that plants are classified according to how 'hardy' they are. Well, that's just the start. They are also described by their life cycle and how they grow. For example: annual climber, herbaceous perennial, woody shrub. As we'll see, they each have a unique name that identifies them, whether you're a gardener in Tunbridge Wells or Tibet.

Information is power, and knowing what all the terms mean will enable you to read a plant label or seed packet in the garden centre, or look at a plant description in a book or magazine. You'll know all about that plant at a glance and whether it will suit your garden's 'character'.
