Opis

Is your yard pretty enough to justify the time, toil and expense that you put into it? If not, here's your chance to learn from yesterday's practical home landscapers. They got great results by working with nature and by using inexpensive, hardy common or native plants and by nurturing local wildflowers and wild vines. They harvested their landscape by using fruit orchard trees for decoration and for shade. They used vegetables and herbs as borders and shrubs. They used wild vines and grapes for shade and decoration on porches, arbors and verandas. And, they enjoyed their yards all year by using plants and trees that were attractive in all of the seasons. This new book will show how you can do it too with some of the best words of landscape wisdom from original 19th century garden guide books, magazines and farm journals.
