A country garden. The phrase evokes a bucolic scene, with paths winding through masses of flowers billowing in the breeze. But that description hardly does this subject justice. Country Garden Planner explores 19 interpretations, all unique creations by gardeners in pastoral, city, and small-town settings across the country. Each country garden, whether large or small, has its own personality and story. Whatever your level of expertise,
you will benefit from the owner’s experience.
Each chapter features a beautifully and accurately illustrated garden plan plus an encyclopedia with a color photograph of and salient information about each plant in that garden. Specific mail order sources and growing tips are included for each plant. The gardens represent a wide range of areas and growing conditions so you can choose a plan suited to your region and taste.
