Wildflowers are the jewels of spring and summer everywhere.
Families drive miles to witness their beauty in wild landscapes.
Now, gardeners are discovering that they can easily and
successfully cultivate these hardy native wonders right at home,
for year-after-year enjoyment. Wildflower farmer and floral
designer Miriam Goldberger believes that wildflowers belong as an
essential part of North American gardens. Taming Wildflowers is the
ultimate DIY book on wildflower gardening and floral design: part
wildflower history ("How Wildflowers Changed the World"), part
upbeat, informative how-to, a little basic plant science, and an
easy primer on designing with these wild and wondrous blooms. Her
richly photographed book shows gardeners how wildflowers enhance
the beauty and environmental health of their gardens by attracting
birds, butterflies and other important pollinators; the simple
steps in seed propagation ("Making Babies"); cutting garden
must-haves (natives and non-natives); integrating wildflowers into
the vegetable garden; harvesting fresh and everlasting wildflowers;
and how to use floral design secrets to create long-lasting
arrangements. In the last chapter the author works with three
brides to design three very different, memorable wildflower
weddings. Taming Wildflowers features 60 of Miriam's favorite
wildflowers and 300 full-color photos. This is the complete
wildflower cutting garden guide.
