Description

In this book, Helen Dillon encapsulates, in her inimitable witty and acccessible style, her lifetime of gardening know-how, deep love of plants, and assured sense of design. Here is illumination for every gardener--from the beginner wondering why nothing will grow in the garden of the new house to the sophisticate aiming at exquisitely subtle effects. Thoughtful ideas on garden style are underpinned by practical advice on looking after plants and careful instructions on the basics of digging, planting, and propagating. Helen Dillon teaches us all how to garden, and garden well. Part one, "Beginner's Stuff," tackles elementary subjects such as how to construct a proper path, how to cope with shade, when and how much to fertilize and water, and how to deal with pests. Part two, "The Middle Ground," ventures into more advanced subjects, including pruning and deadheading, propagation, staking, and plants for specific sites and uses. Part three, "Fancy Stuff," tantalizes the experienced gardener with chapters on exotic plants, plants used primarily for their ornamental foliage, usual and collector's plants, and on "decluttering" the garden. Throughout the book, Dillon's friendly, humorous, no-nonsense approach guarantees all gardeners will appreciate the wisdom of a true expert.
