Description
Ornamental Gardening in Atlantic Canada is a fun and useful gardening book for anyone who gardens in Climate Zones 4 through 7, especially those in the Atlantic Canadian provinces. This book features techniques for plants that have been proven to be effective for new and experienced gardeners alike. It introduces and describes dozens of plants that will thrive in Eastern Canada. Some of these plants are reliable garden stalwarts, whereas others are relatively new, and you may be surprised to learn that they can also be grown successfully in this region. With an extensive how-to section, this book will assist you in getting the most out of your own garden—whether it’s a small collection of pots or an expansive growing space. Annual maintenance, fertilization, growth requirements, seed-starting, and so much more—you’ll find it all in this easy-to-understand book.?xml:namespace prefix="o" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Ornamental Gardening in Atlantic Canada features detailed watercolour paintings, as well as glorious photographs that are all the work of the book’s author, Dawn Baker, and originate entirely from within her own garden. With decades of gardening experience (twenty-five years of which have been working in her present garden), Dawn’s love of gardening will certainly be an inspiration to gardeners of all types, from those who enjoy casual gardening to those who never feel better than when their hands are in the soil.
