Description
The American Mixed Border is on a horticultural style tailor-made for today's gardener and is for use at climates all across America. The mixed border consists of perennials, shrubs, small trees, annuals, vines and more, all combining to create a garden that provides outdoor interest almost all year long. And because the mixed border consists of many different types of plants, it is more resistant to disease and pests and requires much less maintenance. Author Ann Lovejoy starts with the basics - site analysis, region, climate, soil, water - and proceeds to the various types of plants to be used and to appendices listing sources for plants and supplies, as well as gardens to visit for inspiration.
