More popular than ever, gardening is going green with the rise in interest in environmentally friendly gardening.Gardening is trending, and today's gardeners are embracing ecologically sound principles--conserving water, avoiding invasives, reducing chemicals, supporting wildlife, and reviving time-tested, organic practices. Featuring sites across a variety of climates and conditions, this book includes private and public gardens created with style and elegance where the goal is to work with, rather than against, nature--opting for plants suited to the site, using organic methods, supporting birds and pollinators, etc.Interspersed throughout are stand-alone essays focused on key topics: meadows and prairie gardens, the importance of trees, structure and hardscaping, ornamental grasses, overcoming site challenges(xeriscaping, rain gardens, excess shade, less than ideal soils).With over thirty-five gardens from across the globe--America, Britain, Europe, Morocco, New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, the Caribbean--alongside photographs by leading garden photographers, including Clive Nichols, Marianne Majerus, Richard Bloom, Andrea Jones, and Alessio Mei, the book showcases the beauty and visual impact produced by eco-friendly garden principles.
