Synopsis
Gardeners concerned with their role as conservers of nature are increasingly interested in growing wild flowers and saving or re-creating natural landscapes. This illustrated book shows how gardeners in all parts of America introduce the most beautiful wild flowers into their gardens. Wild flowers are hardier and require less water maintenance, as well as fewer chemicals and pesticides, than do other flowering plants and ground covers. By selecting plant species best suited to local conditions, even the most casual weekend gardener can create a lively, beautiful, natural explosion of colour. The book incorporates specific gardening techniques, botanical information and a regional focus.
