The Perennial Gardener's Design Primer

by Stephanie Cohen and Nancy J. Ondra

Stephanie Cohen and Nancy Ondra, two top garden writers and teachers, offer fun, organized, and—most important—attainable advice on how to create gorgeous gardens using perennials. The authors walk the gardener step-by-step through the process of creating a new garden, and they also suggest ways to bring new life to a garden that has lost its luster. They explain how to pick perennials that suit the site by making the most of plant color, shape, size, and texture, and how to create eye-catching plant combinations.

Beautiful illustrations accompany the new garden plans, and stunning photographs capture how Cohen and Ondra have redesigned their own gardens. Throughout the book a lively dialogue between Cohen and Ondra encourages readers to experiment and to create their own satisfying designs.
