Every gardener loves perennials.
Whether you are breaking ground for a new garden, or revitalizing an existing bed, THE Perennial GARDENER\'S Design Primer can help every gardener achieve great results - year after year..
The authors also offer down-to-earth Design solutions for 20 specific types of gardens, including everything from a minimum maintenance garden to a more complex container garden, from planting a formal border to indulging in the controlled chaos of a cottage garden.
Throughout the book, a lively dialogue between Cohen and Ondra encourages readers to experiment and to create their own satisfying designs.
Beautiful illustrations accompany the new garden plans, and stunning photographs capture how Cohen and Ondra have redesigned their own gardens.
They explain how to pick perennials that suit the site by making the most of plant colour, shape, size, and texture; and how to create eye-catching plant combinations.
Cohen and Ondra walk the gardener step-by- step through the process of creating new gardens, as well as of bringing new life to gardens that have lost their lustre.
In THE Perennial GARDENER\'S DEISGN PRIMER, Stephanie Cohen and Nancy Ondra, two top garden writers and teachers, offer fun, organized, and - most important - attainable advice on how to create gorgeous gardens using these beloved plants.
But in addition to reliability, perennials offer gardeners a wonderful opportunity to make a stunning visual statement in their home landscapes - if you know how to combine and arrange them.
Buy them and plant them, and most will flourish and even expand year after year.
