Synopsis A Way to Garden by : Margaret Roach

“A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

Synopsis Tales of the Rose Tree by : Jane Brown

"From the towering Burmese magnificum, with its three-foot-diameter trunk and its masses of sweet-smelling purple flowers, to the potted pink azalea, glowing like a burning bush on the backyard garden patio, Rhododendron is a genus of infinite variety and beauty. There are 1,025 known species: it is a native of the snows of the Himalayas and the swamps of the Carolinas, the jungles of Borneo and the island inlets of Japan. It is also one of the oldest of plants - many believe the dove that returned to Noah's ark was carrying a rhododendron sprig - although it has been known to western horticulture for only 300 years. The curious history of Westerners and rhododendrons is full of swashbuckling plant collectors and visionary gardeners, colonial violence and ecological destruction, stunning botanical successes and bitter business disappointments. And it is here related with consummate skill by Jane Brown, an English garden writer."--BOOK JACKET.

Synopsis Rhododendrons of the World and how to Grow Them by : David G. Leach

"This is the most comprehensive book on rhododendrons ever to be published and should be the definitive one on the subject. It covers planting, care, diseases, propagation, forcing, greenhouse culture and hardiness; it gives a history of rhododendrons, their distribution all over the world, their plant anatomy, their adaptability to garden use and what other plants to use with them. There is a detailed listing of 148 species, information which has never been assembled before, and there is also a comprehensive chapter on hybrids. Because every aspect of the subject has been exhaustively covered, this book will be of use anywhere in the United States or Great Britain where rhododendron growing is at all possible. It is entirely practical for the average gardener and should be an invaluable reference work for such specialists as nurserymen, landscape architects, and professional horticulturists"--Book jacket.
