Produktbeschreibung

A charming and colorful guide to the hardy, low-maintenance plants that serve as essential elements of the architecture of our gardens. This beautifully illustrated book on landscape gardening addresses shrubs and how to determine which you should plant among your perennials and where. Shrubs provide the foundation for a pleasing, yet low-maintenance garden. They are long-lived, have the ornamental appeal of perennials, and provide variety in color, size, shape, and texture, as well as shelter and berries for birds. Shrubs can make attractive arrangements indoors and provide seasonal variation through the entire year. In addition to the useful information for gardeners of any skill level, Shrubs Large and Small includes Gillian Harris's irresistible illustrations-botanically correct works of art that will delight and inspire.
