TIP OF THE WEEK: Violets (Viola odorata) are one of the easiest ground covers to grow, due to their tough rhizomatous root systems. The ground plan is designed as a parterre of planted ground covers, crushed white marble, recycled black rubber and blue marbles which are under-lit, giving the garden a nighttime glow and sense of water. Over 150 b/w illustrations clarify the various techniques, and new highlights of the second edition include additional chapters on pruning ground covers and hedges, expanded coverage of mounding-habit, cane-growing, and tree-like shrubs, pruning tips organized by regions of America, new illustrations, and more. |
