Evergreen your landscape with the beauty and benefits of conifers
A must-add to the arsenal of those specializing in these captivating and collectable cone-bearing plants.¿ David Olszyk, president, American Conifer SocietyLike the best cup of coffee or finest wine you have ever tasted, Growing Conifers is not to be rushed. That would be a waste of a most incredible book.
¿ Mark Cullen, garden columnist, Toronto Star, author, The New Canadian GardenThis might be the most practical and handy book I've ever read on gardening with conifers.
¿ Benjamin Vogt, author, A New Garden Ethic
BEAUTIFULLY PHOTOGRAPHED, Growing Conifers is a comprehensive gardening guide for selecting and cultivating conifers. Coverage includes:
- Conifer taxonomy, classification, and geographic distribution
- Selecting conifers for size, shape, color, and texture
- Best practices for placement and planting of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers in urban and rural gardens
- Building healthy soil, minimizing water stress, and integrated pest management
- Growing needs and low-input maintenance
- Benefits of conifers including habitat, water and air quality, carbon sequestration, aesthetics, and food.
Conifers are often overlooked in gardening and landscaping in favor of deciduous trees and shrubs. Yet conifers come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors and offer tremendous aesthetic and ecological benefits for any garden.
Growing Conifers is an essential, comprehensive resource for gardeners and landscape professionals looking to develop beautiful, sustainable landscapes.
Everything a gardener needs to know, from planning a garden and choosing the right conifers, to planting, care and maintenance, and propagation.¿ Brent Marcus, owner, Conifer KingdomA rare and unusual combination of a superb gardener as author and a renowned photographer make Growing Conifers a one-of-a-kind book.
