Combining both hands-on practicality and garden philosophy, Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a self-described renegade scientist, appeals to the hearts and minds of gardeners everywhere.
She lives in Ontario, Canada..
Diana Beresford-kroeger is a botanist, medical and agricultural researcher, lecturer, and self-defined renegade scientist in the fields of classical botany, medical biochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry.
Yet her holistic approach urges us to think big while acting locally, so that we may someday restore the Forest primeval.
Beresford-kroeger captures the magic spell that trees cast over us.
Finally, the Bioplan offers practical design ideas and tips---where to plant these trees, what season they look best in, what native plants complement them---as well as organic care and how to grow them.
The plan also reveals the fascinating history of these trees in Native American culture, including their medicinal uses.
The plan consists of how each of twenty different tree groups relates to its natural environment and how these specific trees can be used to promote health or to counteract the effects of pollution and global warming.
Beresford-Kroeger\'s remedy is what she calls the Bioplan.
Few books, though, touch on so many aspects of trees, including ways to use them in garden design, as Arboretum America does.
Some warn, some inform, while others meditate on the disappearance of the forests or the meaning of trees.
There are many books on both of these subjects.
Arboretum America \'s goal is both lofty and down to earth: the salvation of the planet---through the planting of trees.
