“Easy Gardens Volume 3 – Beautiful Designs for You” presents garden designs so that you can have a beautiful garden 12 months a year in the shade or sun with little or no maintenance.
Choose from 47 garden designs which include suggestions for plants and hard landscaping, along with a wealth of other ideas and directions on how to create your own little slice of paradise. “Easy Garden Volume 3” has 147 pages and is written in a format both beginning and experienced gardeners will find easy to follow, using common names for plants.
SPECIAL GARDEN PLANS INCLUDE: maintenance-free and low-maintenance gardens, no-dig raised beds for all sizes, from window boxes to doorstep gardens, from tiny to large to long and narrow gardens.
Choose an adventure play area for children, a wheelchair accessible garden, a garden for visually impaired or a garden for cooking or relaxing.
Also included are fragrant and romantic gardens, night gardens which glow in the dark, classic cottage gardens, hanging gardens and gardens designed for a noisy city balcony or windy rooftop. You might like a star-shaped garden in silvers, blues and lavenders or a beautiful tiled garden which can have little or no plantings.
There are shady or sunny gardens, wet or dry gardens, warm climate or cold climate gardens, hillside terraces, wildflower meadows, eco-friendly gardens or wildlife and woodland gardens.
You might want a place to attract butterflies, hummingbirds or even create a bird sanctuary. Or a 3-season garden that doubles as a parking space during the winter months.
How about a nautical theme garden, Mediterranean garden, Hawaiian garden, Indian garden or Oriental garden – your choice!
SELECT A QUICK AND EASY GARDEN STYLE to match your needs.
PREPARE THE SOIL or choose from the raised bed plans which do not require digging.
SELECT THE PLANTS by growing season so that you can have flowers blooming 12 months a year in most climates. Each year they will grow, bloom and die back on their own. Do the work one year and reap the harvest for many years to come.
PLANT THE PLANTS so that few weeds can grow, water your plants the easy way and enjoy your slice of Heaven. (Or have a beautiful garden year around without any plantings.)
Valuable information is included on compost, fertilizer, mulch, weeds, disease and where you can find bargains and free plants.
