Southwestern Landscaping with Native Plants has been the
inspiration for tens of thousands of gardeners facing the
challenging winds, soils, and droughts of low- and high-desert
gardens. A perennial gardener's favorite, this guide -- now with 55
new color photographs and an all-new appendix of adapted plants --
is the classic resource for reaping the rewards of landscaping with
native and adaptive plants that will make a success of any
gardening effort. This book breaks down the often-daunting task of
creating a garden into easy steps, from site analysis through
design, plant selection, propagation, and maintenance. Everything
necessary for understanding -- and enjoying -- a garden is here in
this guide.
Written by a hard-working horticulturalist for fellow gardeners,
the aim of this diary is to jog people's memories, share plant
stories, demystify gardening and most importantly make the reader
smile. You'll find a personal year-long diary of gardening along
with favourite seasonal plants, timely reminders and entertaining
tales of moving sheep, visiting RHS Chelsea Flower Show and
speaking at garden clubs. Tamsin's open garden is at the heart of a
working farm, so her book reflects the twists and turns of the
countryside. For anyone just about to embark on a life in the
country, or whose town garden is never tidy and who wonders how the
professionals do it, it's a must read. Pick up tips on how to keep
warm whilst gardening, get rid of chilblains and grow seasonal food
from someone who lives, breathes and eats country gardening.
