Get Back to the Garden!
Gardening is the most popular leisure activity in Canada, and gardeners from coast-to-coast are eagerly anticipating the moment when spring will begin and they can get digging. For most gardeners one of the most difficult decisions they will face is simply deciding what to plant and ensuring that it will thrive in their part of the country. For help in making those tough decisions, DK Publishing has produced Garden Plants and Flowers – a lavishly illustrated A-Z guide which will be indispensable for both novice gardeners and experienced green thumbs alike.
Specifically tailored to the needs of Canadian gardeners and expertly edited by renowned Canadian gardening expert Lorraine Johnson, Garden Plants and Flowers is an easy-to use, pictorial handbook to over 2,500 garden plants and flowers. Each entry is accompanied by magnificent full-colour photographs as well as essential information and tips on caring for each particular plant as well as useful sections on germinating seed, hardwood cuttings, mulching, weeding, fertilizing, pruning, soils and composting.
From dry, sunny borders to corners in deep shade to gardens on steep slopes or even exposed seaside plots, Garden Plants and Flowers helps to choose plants for every possible situation, making it a veritable one-stop compendium of information that will help ensure great, green results for any Canadian gardener.
