âShows us that guiding natural processes rather than fighting them is the key to creating healthier landscapes and happier gardeners.â âDoug Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home
Larry Weaner is an icon in the world of ecological landscape design, and now his revolutionary approach is available to home gardeners. Garden Revolution shows how an ecological approach to planting can lead to beautiful gardens that buck much of conventional gardeningâs counter-productive, time-consuming practices. Instead of picking the wrong plant and then weeding, irrigating, and fertilizing, Weaner advocates for choosing plants that are adapted to the soil and climate of a specific site and letting them naturally evolve over time. This lushly-photographed reference is for anyone looking for a better, smarter way to garden. - Grand Central PubGarden Revolution shows how an ecological approach to planting can lead to beautiful gardens that buck much of conventional gardeningâs counter-productive, time-consuming practices.
