This is an easy to use garden ref. with good ideas for your planted spaces and containers as well. Some nice structure suggestions and garden layouts that will help organize garden spaces for maximum impact. The plants suggested are pretty much available everywhere which is great. Nice addition to my library for home and garden items.
I have never had a green thumb. And I have a small property. I'm surrounded on all sides by people who do have green thumbs, and when I step outside into my front lawn, I can see my complete lack of talent with gardening. With the help of this book, I'm going to turn my lawn into something that I wouldn't otherwise be able to accomplish. Easy to understand maintainability, explanation of ideal environments and even ideas of which plants to pair with what for that "wow" factor. I'm really pleased with my purchase!
I bought this book because her other book on perennials was excellent. In this book, Tracy proves that low-maintenance doesn't mean low-interest. She's packed the book with traffic-stopping garden stars that require less care and less fuss. Now you can actually find time to enjoy your garden. For those of you new to Tracy DiSabato-Aust, she was awarded the 2004 Garden Media Award from the Perennial Plant Association. This award recognizes an individual whose educational and promotional efforts have resulted in a heightened awareness of perennials and the perennial industry.
Good list of easy-care, good-looking plants that will survive without much bother. Good photography and written information.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Wow! Found some great new ideas! I'm excited to go to the nursery this week to find the plants that will grow in my zone.
