Water GardeningThe professional horticulturists at the great gardens of the United States and Canada are passionate about their endeavors - studying every trend, refining every technique for making things grow and thrive. Now, for the first time, The American Garden Guides have brought these experts together to create practical handbooks that give the best advice available for all types of plants and all parts of North America. Water Gardening is the result of a collaboration among the leading gardeners at Denver Botanic Gardens and seven other gardens in New York, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, St. Louis, Santa Barbara, and Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. These dedicated men and women provide a complete list of plants, design suggestions, and masses of information specific to water gardening. This volume also includes the results of the first major survey to determine the best water lilies for each region. |
