Tending Your Garden

A Year-Round Guide to Garden Maintenance
by Gordon and Mary Hayward

For 25 years, the Haywards, expert horticultural consultants and authors of many books and articles on gardening, have been tending their own garden in Vermont. In their new book, they describe what they do in their garden from earliest spring until snowfall: pruning trees and shrubs; planting, staking, and dividing perennials; and edging, deadheading, and weeding. They also include many tips for reducing maintenance.

The Hayards’ advice can be put to work in your own garden, regardless of size or location. Splendid color photographs plus line drawings by Elayne Sears give more details on specific techniques. Anecdotal, encouraging, and crammed with information, this is a gorgeous treatment of a very practical subject.
