  Dripping with red berries, festooned with hanging ropes of white flowers or pink petals, and bedecked with shiny patterned leaves: all year long, evergreens, shrubs, and climbers make a garden seem alive. Their plentiful foliage makes them superb for hedging and screening a yard or home, while their graceful structure enhances any landscape design. Even better, most are extremely low-maintenance. A renowned botanist, horticulturist, and photographer shows you how to grow and take maximum advantage of broad-leaved evergreens, and introduces a range of plants listed by foliage, flower color, season of flowering, and other helpful categories. An extensive directory gives details on a wide selection of these hardy trees, with more than 130 of the author's striking photographs. A Selection of the Garden Book Club.

  The essence of the cottage garden is informality, a comfortable retreat from the cares of modern life: this old-fashioned warmth accounts for its increasing popularity. Bring cozy charm to your own outdoor space with this manual of planting schemes, flowers, flowering shrubs, and trees. Recreate the authentic feel of the cottage garden with fencing, fountains, and paving, and see which plants traditionally bloomed in these gardens...and which ones have become modern alternatives. The integration of fruit, as well as vegetables and herbs, has always set cottage gardens apart from others. Find out how to plant and care for the trees, as well as how to pick and store their bounty. The directory features such beauties as the lacy Shasta daisy, hardy purple sea lavender, bright vermilion Oriental poppies, and the sweet-scented flag iris.
