Gardening with Woodland Plants
For those who live in the woods, landscaping can be a matter of not being able to see the forest for the trees. With proper guidance, what at first may appear to be a haphazard mass of competitive plant material can be transformed into a serendipitous Eden with beguiling carpets of textured ground covers and blazing perennials softened with statuesque shrubs, all under the sheltering protection of stately trees. Nor does one need to live in the deep forest to attain a woodland utopia. Gardeners working with a small shaded area can benefit from Junker's sweeping exploration. With more than 350 color photos, detailed information regarding cultural essentials, and an exhaustive plant directory listing more than 2,000 suitable plants, Junker's is an authoritative and encyclopedic guide to the spectacular variety and beauty of woodland plants.Carol HaggasCopyright © American Library Association.
