- Plant science for gardeners : essentials for growing better plants / by Pavlis, Robert,author.;
Plant Science for Gardeners empowers growers to analyze common problems, find solutions, and make better decisions in the garden for optimal plant health and productivity. Most gardeners learn by accumulating rules--water once a week, never dry out snowdrop bulbs, prune lilacs after flowering, plant garlic in October--the list is endless. Rules take years to learn and yet leave you floundering when the unexpected strikes and plants look unhealthy, produce poorly, or die. There is a better way. By understanding the basic biology of how plants grow, you can become a thinking gardener with the confidence to problem solve for optimized plant health and productivity. Learn the science and ditch the rules! Coverage includes: the biology of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers; understanding how plants function as whole organisms; the role of nutrients and inputs; vegetables, flowers, grasses, and trees and shrubs; propagation and genetics; sidebars that explode common gardening myths; tips for evaluating plant problems and finding solutions. Whether you're a home gardener, micro-farmer, market gardener, or homesteader, this entertaining and accessible guide shortens the learning curve and gives you the knowledge to succeed no matter where you live.- Subjects: Handbooks and manuals.; Botany.; Gardening.; Plants.;

- A home for all seasons / by Prestney, Kay,author.; Cherry, Becca,author.;
Learn how to create a comfortable, sustainable home that is aligned with the seasons and celebrates the beauty of the natural world. There are many benefits to seasonal living, which encourages us to live in harmony with nature as we mark the passing of the year. Each chapter of this book is dedicated to one of the four seasons. In the spring, celebrate new beginnings: bring in blossom and plant bulbs in antique chinaware. Summer is the time to embrace outdoor living with sheer linens and lots of texture, while autumn brings the harvest as the nights draw in: embrace it with earthy tones, dried flowers and cosy furnishings. And in winter, candles, evergreen foliage and soft sheepskins bring light and warmth to the darkest time of the year. Kay Prestney and Becca Cherry present beautiful interiors alongside practical styling inspiration. Seasonal colour palettes, natural materials and biophilic elements are key to this style of decorating, which uses the changing hues of the natural world to create an intentional, comforting home.- Subjects: Color decoration and ornament.; Color in interior decoration.; Interior decoration.; Seasons.;

"Insect pollinators not only bring joy to our gardens, they also provide an essential service for our planet.

Planting for Pollinators features a wide range of plants, with guidance on the best ways to nurture lawns and verges, pollinator predation and tips on watching and photographing wildlife. Beautifully illustrated throughout with images from award-winning wildlife photographer Heather Angel, this essential guide will show you how plants communicate with insects, and why it's so important to protect our pollinators. Organised by season and featuring more than 100 plant species - including bulbs, annuals, perennials, shrubs and climbers - this practical guide will help you to discover the short- and long-term benefits of having a variety of pollinators visit your garden."--Back cover.- Subjects: Bees.; Butterfly gardening.; Gardening to attract wildlife.; Insect pollinators; Pollinators.;

Greg Loades comes to the rescue in this detailed, inspiring book. He shows the reader how much can actually be accomplished in no more than 30 minutes a day, from simple tasks such as renovating a rose bush or planting a layered bulb display to more complex ones like laying a patio or building a green roof.
