Product Description
Creating a garden in a coastal area can be daunting, even for those who have mastered the techniques of inland gardening. Wind, sand, salt, and scorching sun all combine to create a unique set of challenges. Frances Tenenbaum, who has gardened for decades on Martha's Vineyard, knows these challenges intimately and has learned how to meet them. Whether you garden on the cool, foggy Pacific Coast, the New England and Mid-Atlantic shore, or the warm southeastern Atlantic Coast, the techniques in this book will enable you to create a lush, welcoming garden that can brave the elements. As Tenenbaum admits, it took her years of experimentation to learn how to garden successfully in coastal conditions. Luckily, you don't have to relive her failures: the answers are right here.

Torn...
17 July 2010
Format:Hardcover
The book has some very lovely photos. I wish that the author would've taken the time to identify all of the major plants in the photos throughout the book though. Some are identified, but many are not. As someone who was hoping to use the book as inspiration, I really feel it fell short in this regard. However, that being said, the book did still offer quite a bit of new (to me anyway) and useful information.

Gardening at the Shore
24 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover
I felt this book was not really about gardening right on the water. Living on the water with a bulkhead, I was more interested in planting with the air and salt water. This book was more involved with hillside planting or having massive screening for shelter.
