  The ideal flower garden is colourful and decorative throughout the year, is scented and attracts bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. This book shows readers how to create such a garden the organic way. The author advises on which plants to choose to make the best use of the space, soil conditions and sunlight. With the emphasis on hardy and disease-resistant varieties, she suggests which flowers you will enjoy growing, including annuals, biennials, bulbs, perennials and roses, and flowers for herbaceous borders. Also included are ideas on garden design and site preparation, as well as a host of practical tips on caring for plants and dealing with pests or diseases without using chemicals.
