Book excerpt: “This is a love story about a couple and their relationship with an acre-and-a-half of land. . . with exceptional plant descriptions that read like character references for old friends. . . . beautiful photographs and prose await.” —Library Journal Marietta and Ernie O’Byrne’s garden—situated on one and a half acres in Eugene, Oregon—is filled with an incredible array of plants from around the world. By consciously leveraging the garden’s many microclimates, they have created a stunning patchwork of exuberant plants that is widely considered one of America’s most outstanding private gardens. In A Tapestry Garden, the O’Byrnes share their deep knowledge of plants and essential garden advice. Readers will discover the humble roots of the garden, explore the numerous habitats and the plants that make them shine, and find inspiration in photography that captures the garden’s astonishing beauty. There is something here for every type of gardener: a shade garden, perennial borders, a chaparral garden, a kitchen garden, and more. Profiles of the O’Byrne’s favorite plants—including hellebores, trilliums, arisaemas, and alpine plants—include comprehensive growing information and tips on pruning and care. A Tapestry Garden captures the spirit of a very special place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If the world of gardening has rock stars, Piet Oudolf qualifies as Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Prince rolled into one.” —Gardenista The original publication of Planting the Natural Garden ushered in a revolution in landscape design: the New Perennial Movement. Spearheaded by internationally renowned designer Piet Oudolf, and incisively articulated by the late plantsman and designer Henk Gerritsen, it transformed private and public spaces with its emotionally resonant, naturalistic use of hardy perennials and grasses. Now this classic has been expanded and updated to include scores of new plants and combinations. Packed with practical information and visual inspiration, Planting the Natural Garden zeroes in on the New Perennial Movement’s power to move us, making its distinctive plant palette available to all. For enthusiasts of these vibrant landscapes, it is an essential text; for gardeners who love the dreamy moods and colors that Oudolf and Gerritsen celebrate, it’s the key to a magic kingdom of garden beauty.

Book excerpt: A crevice garden replicates the environmental conditions of mountain tops, deserts, coastlines, and other exposed or rocky places on earth. These striking garden features provide perfect conditions for the plants native to these far-off places, bringing the cultivation of these precious gems within everybody's reach. In this book, enthusiastic experts Kenton Seth and Paul Spriggs bring us in-depth guidance on the design, construction, and planting of crevice gardens of all kinds including those suitable for containers, small gardens, and public parks and in styles that encompass both naturalistic scenes and non-traditional installations. A wealth of international case studies demonstrate how crevice gardens provide multiple micro-habitats that are exceptionally well-suited to plants that struggle in normal garden conditions. Further examples reveal their value in the ecological re-use of waste materials such as concrete, wildlife habitat creation, and for making permeable, plant-friendly alternatives to retaining walls. An illustrated A-Z recommending 250 irresistible plants completes this comprehensive book which heralds a bold new chapter in the history of crevice garden making.

This is the reason why, just dreaming up a garden, and visualizing it, whether it is an Alpine Garden, a rock garden, or an ordinary garden needs effort, dedication, and application on your part. Far too frequently, you plan the garden quickly. You have not given the subject adequate thought. You have rushed in the work with lots of haste, and thus making a waste of perfectly good land. The result more or less of failure is going to be a sad and annoying reminder of your lack of patience and technical knowledge. Just imagine that you are making a garden in the same manner in which you are constructing your house. This is a skilled job. You are not going to start building your house, without proper thought, finances, plans, and timescales, are you. You are also going to take the expert assistance of a trained architect and contractors who are more skilled in building houses. In the same manner, many people fail to make their gardens what they might be just because they are too stubborn to call in an expert or because they do not possess some of the essential technical knowledge needed to make a garden. When you are planning any sort of pattern of reasonable dimensions, it may be wise to take some advice from an expert gardener. Also remember that if you are taking professional advice, you may need to look at his fees beforehand in order to prevent escalating costs, right at the initial stages of the project itself! This does not mean that you cannot have your own individual ideas carried out for a garden, because after all it is a reflection of the heart, body, mind and soul of the person who plans it. You want to create a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
