Description: This book shows astonishingly beautiful spaces in a range of shoreline settings, including ocean dunes, rocky coasts, and wetlands. In addition to including 65 new photographs, this edition features a completely revamped and expanded Plant Encyclopedic, with a new section on tropical plants and tender perennials. The book's lush photographs of seaside oases from the New Jersey shore to Long Island to Maine offer gardeners ideas for using color; fashioning landscapes; creating patio and deck gardens; and constructing ponds, paths, and trellises. A Practical Guide, comprising up-to-date information about sandy soil, salt water, deer, and other seaside predicaments, makes this a complete resource for anyone who gardens in this demanding environment.
