Here is one of the most original gardening volumes to appear in many seasons. An unusual split-page design lets readers flip pages to study and compare 60 illustrated plans for garden beds and borders. The book opens with an explanation of the most important aspects of planting garden beds to get attractive varieties of color and texture all year-round. There is also advice on best plant locations, soil types, weather, sunlight, shade, and compatible small trees or shrubs to complement flower beds. In addition to the 60 garden bed plans, the author presents an alphabetically arranged illustrated directory of more than 400 flowering plants, covering the entire growing season. Each entry gives information on planting, maintenance, and compatibility with other plants. Mix and Match Gardening Planner is an ideal volume for gardeners at every level of experience, from enthusiastic amateurs to professional landscape designers. It contains more than 500 illustrations, all in full color.
