The book that puts Pennsylvania's most knowledgeable gardener at
your beck and call. Split down the middle by the Appalachian
Mountains, Pennsylvania experiences a wide range of extreme weather
on each side of the divide, with humid summers in Harrisburg and
record-breaking snowfalls in McKean County-- but there's one thing
every Pennsylvanian experiences: rain, and plenty of it. The
state's well-hydrated landscape hosts a vast selection of beautiful
native plants, from the gorgeous multi-season serviceberry to the
stunning and underused Joe-Pye weed. In "Pennsylvania Getting
Started Garden Guide," locally beloved "Patriot-News" garden
columnist George Weigel teaches you how to plant and care for more
than 150 of different species of natural Pennsylvanian agriculture.
Elegantly photographed, full-color pages impart Weigel's decades of
experience gardening in this state. The flowers, shrubs, vines,
trees, and groundcovers within - organized alphabetically by type
and common name - are each showcased with a reference image, a name
pronunciation guide, and detailed information such as: full-grown
plant size, when to plant, tips for bringing your transplants to
healthy maturity, and even recommendations for the best companion
species. This comprehensive, easily understandable reference guide
is complete with at-a-glance icons for quick plant info,
color-coded USDA zone maps, and - of course - the charming writing
style of Pennsylvania's most endearing and trustworthy garden
writer. So even if you don't love the weather all the time, with
"Pennsylvania Getting Started Garden Guide," you'll be able to
choose plants that do.
