With hectic lifestyles and busy

schedules, people are nding it more

and more appealing to enjoy their

leisure time at home rather than

packing their bags in search of

peaceful retreats. But how can they condently create a garden retreat? By following Cohen and

Benners trusted advice and building a nonstop garden, theyll have more creative planting options, a

garden that provides year-round interest, andmost importantlya yard that requires less mainte-

nance than a traditional perennial border.

The Nonstop Garden gives gardeners all the information they need to create a productive, beautiful

garden from the ground up. This easy-to-use guide is split into four main parts: the nuts and bolts of

designing a mixed garden, the gardens main attractions (trees and shrubs), the gardens supporting

cast (bulbs, annuals, edibles, and vines), and nishing touches (ornamentation, containers, and garden

structures).

The Nonstop Garden also includes ten fail-safe design plans that can be incorporated into any garden.Gardeners can choose from a native garden, a scented garden, a gold-colored garden, a garden for wet

sites, a vibrant-colored garden, a cool-colored garden, a winter garden, a shade garden, and a design

plan for the daunting area known as the hellstrip.

Building a better, smarter garden has never been so much fun.

Choosing color is one of the most

delightful and personal choices a

gardener makes. For one

gardener, the shock of a garden

full of pink and red is a picture of

beauty. For another, white owers

may be more tranquilly inspiring.

The Gardeners Color Palette

features ten plants in ten color

groups and offers gardeners

hundreds of opportunities

to mix and match. Want a

red garden? Choose the

Crimson Star columbine,

the Lucifer crocosmia,and the Gardenview

Scarlet bee balm. For a

metallic garden plant the

Japanese cobra lily, the

Chocolate cosmos, and the

Kamchatka fritillary. Or,

create a multicolored array by picking plants from each category.

Plant proles include a description, the common and botanical names, information about expected

height and spread, bloom time, hardiness, and light and water requirements. Combined with Clive

Nichols stunning photographs, The Gardeners Color Palette is an invaluable source of practical advice

and visual inspiration.

a bk-sdr K p

Make you chool yad come alve

The more time children spend indoors, the less

time they spend outdoors, often with danger-

ous resultsobesity, attention disorders, and a

disconnect from nature. Parents, teachers, and

caretakers have a responsibility to connect

children to the natural world by teaching the

values of environmental stewardship and the importance of nutrition and health.

How to Grow a School Garden is a comprehensive guide to developing, planning, building, and

maintaining a school garden. This hands-on approach includes all the information necessary to make

school garden projects accessible, inexpensive, and sustainable. For parents, the authors offer detailed

advice on how to secure support from the administration, how to raise money, how to build a kid-

friendly garden, how to manage volunteers, and how to ensure a smooth transition at the beginning of

each school year. Teachers will gain valuable lesson plans and activities for a range of ages.

Reclaiming a piece of neglected yard and transforming it into an ecologically rich garden is one of

the most benecial activities that parents, teachers, and children can undertake together.How to Grow

a School Garden gives both teachers and parents everything they need to begin building a productive

and engaging school garden.

Simplify and enjoy your garden

Sooner or later, every older gardener faces a similar

challenge. At some point, we all nd ourselves asking If I

cant get out there and dig, plant, and prune as I used to,

what am I going to do?

The garden has been an everyday part of Sydney

Eddisons life for over forty years. It has witnessed thechanging of seasons, her greatest joys, and her

deepest sorrows. The garden and the gardener have

aged and changed together.

Gardening for a Lifetime is a touching memoir

about having to scale back after widowhood and

painful joints made it impossible to keep up

with a large country garden. Intermixing

personal experience with practical gardening

tips, Eddison has written an encouraging

roadmap for accepting and embracing a new

and simpler way of gardening.

Elegant black and white illustrations evoke

Eddisons everyday joy, sorrow, and contentment

in the garden. Gentle, personable, and practical,

Gardening for a Lifetime helps transform gardening from

a list of daunting chores into the rewarding, joy-lled activity it was meant to be.

t mthe organic gardeners guide

to the soil food webrevised edition

J l dw l

A me o the lfe of the ol ad the

health of the ade

Digs into soil in a most enlightening and

entertaining way.

Dallas Morning News

Smart gardeners know that soil is anything but an

inert substance. Healthy soil is teeming with lifenot just earthworms and insects, but a staggering

multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure

the microbial life that sustains healthy plants, and thus become increasingly dependent on an arsenal

of articial, often toxic, substances. But there is an alternative to this vicious cycle. We can garden in a

way that strengthens the soil food webthe complex world of soil-dwelling organisms whose interac-

tions create a nurturing environment for plants.

Teaming with Microbes extols the benets of cultivating the soil food web. First, it clearly explains the

activities and organisms that make up the web. Next, it explains how gardeners can cultivate the life of

the soil through the use of compost, mulches, and compost tea. The revised edition updates the

original text and includes two completely new chapterson mycorrhizae (benecial associations fungi

form with green-leaved plants) and archaea (single-celled organisms once thought to be allied to

bacteria).

With Jeff Lowenfels help, everyonefrom devotees of organic gardening techniques to weekend

gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicalscan

create rich, nurturing, living soil.

a v ca gardeners guide to thebest vertical plants

a m. a

Growing up is easy to do

Climbing plants are a largely untapped

resource for todays gardeners. Because their

habit of growth is primarily vertical, they can

be used to provide privacy, screen eyesores, and

draw the eye upward to create the illusion of

space.

InArmitages Vines and Climbers, renowned

horticulturist Allan Armitage selects

and proles the most useful and

attractive climbing plants for a wide

variety of sites and conditions. The

choices include both woody and

herbaceous plants, both annuals and

perennials. Proles for more than 115

plants include a general description,

hardiness, plant family, best

method of propagation, method

of climbing, and the etymologyof botanical and common names.

Climbing plants add an extra

dimension to gardeningliterally.

By following Armitages sage

advice, gardeners and designers

will be well equipped to create

dazzling gardens that transcend

the boundaries of horizontality.

The cece of lat

For two decades readers around the world

have been fascinated by Brian Capons

crystal-clear descriptions of how plants

work. What happens inside a seed after it is

planted? How do plants use each otherand

animalsto survive? How do they repro-

duce, and how do they transform nutrients

into growth?

Botany for Gardeners is the most complete,

compact, and accessible introduction to

the world of botany available. The new

edition has been expanded with

dazzling scanning electron microscope

photographs and even more amazing

facts about plants. Especially timely are

new essays on food plants: what makes

plants edible, the effects of climate

change, and the role of genetic

engineering.

Whether its the exotic

behaviors of unusual seeds, the

astounding weight-bearing

capacity of the Victoria waterlily,

or the ingenious existence of

lichens, the third edition of

Botany for Gardeners will be

embraced by beginning gardeners

and devoted plant-o-philes.

b, w, athe indispensable role of

hymenoptera in gardense g

The motace of ect

Few insects are more important than bees, wasps,

and ants. They maintain the gardens biological

balance, fertilize vegetables, fruits, and owers,

and recycle nutrients within the soil. Its no

exaggeration to say that a garden cant be

understood without an understanding of its

insects.

Bees, Wasps, and Ants explores the importanceof the Hymenoptera and explains how gardeners

can encourage (or discourage) them in the garden.

Part One includes a summary of their

biology and a tour of what role they

play in each part of the garden. Part

Two takes a closer look at the individual

groups within the family, including saw-

ies, horntails, woodwasps, parasitic

wasps, predatory wasps, bees, and ants.

Bees, Wasps, and Ants is sure to

persuade even the most insect-phobic reader to invite these

fascinating creatures into their

gardens.

t K fthe biology of mushrooms,

molds, and lichenss l. s

The cuou wold of fu

The ubiquitous fungi are little known and

vastly underappreciated. Yet, without them

we wouldnt have bread, alcohol, cheese,

tofu, or the unique avors of mushrooms,

morels, and trufes. We cant survive

without fungi.

The Kingdom Fungi provides a comprehen-

sive look at the biology, structure, andmorphological diversity of these necessary

organisms. It sheds light on their ecologi-

cally important roles in nature, their

fascinating relationships with people, plants,

and animals, and their practical applications

in the manufacture of food, beverages, and

pharmaceuticals. The book includes informa-

tion about true fungi, fungus-like creatures

(slime molds and water molds), and a group

of composite organisms (lichens) that

are more than just fungi. Particularattention is given to examples of fungi

that might be found in the home and

encountered in nature.

The Kingdom Fungi is a useful

introductory text for naturalists,

mycologists, and anyone who wants to

become more familiar with, and more

appreciative of, the fascinating world of

fungi.

The visually arresting and often misunderstood

octopus has long captured popular imagination.

With an alien appearance and an uncanny

intellect, this exceptional sea creature has

inspired fear in famous lore and legendsfrom

the giant octopus attack in20,000 Leagues Underthe Sea to Ursula the sea witch in The Little

Mermaid. Yet its true nature is more wondrous

still. After decades of research, the authors reveal a sensitive, curious, and playful animal with

remarkable intelligence, an ability to defend itself with camouage and jet propulsion, an intricate

nervous system, and advanced problem-solving abilities.

In this beautifully photographed book, three leading marine biologists bring readers face to face

with these amazingly complex animals that have fascinated scientists for decades. From the molluscan

ancestry of todays octopus to its ingenious anatomy, amazing mating and predatory behaviors, and

other-worldly relatives, the authors take readers through the astounding life cycle, uncovering the

details of distinctive octopus personalities. With personal narratives, underwater research, stunning

closeup photography, and thoughtful guidance for keeping octopuses in captivity, Octopus is the rstcomprehensive natural history of this smart denizen of the sea.
