Book excerpt: “Gardeners just starting out will earn a sense of accomplishment and a good dose of knowledge.” —Booklist Every new gardener has to start somewhere—and the process can be intimidating. Knowing when and what to plant, how to care for the plants once they’re in the ground, and how to keep pests and diseases away is a lot to take on. Luckily, Daryl Beyers—an expert from the New York Botanical Garden—has written what will be a go-to resource for decades to come. The New Gardener’s Handbook is a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of gardening, based on the introductory gardening class that Beyers teaches at NYBG. Readers will learn about soil, plant selection, propagation, planting and mulching, watering and feeding, pruning, and weeds, pests, and diseases. The information applies to both ornamental and edible plants. Featuring inspiring photography and helpful illustrations, The New Gardener’s Handbook gives home gardeners a foundation upon which they can grow, and encourages them to apply the lessons they’ve learned in an intuitive, natural way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stylish, beautifully photographed guide to artfully incorporating organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs into an attractive modern garden design. We’ve all seen the vegetable garden overflowing with corn, tomatoes, and zucchini that looks good for a short time, but then quickly turns straggly and unattractive (usually right before friends show up for a backyard barbecue). If you want to grow food but you don’t want your yard to look like a farm, what can you do? The Beautiful Edible Garden shares how to not only grow organic fruits and vegetables, but also make your garden a place of year-round beauty that is appealing, enjoyable, and fits your personal style. Written by a landscape design team that specializes in artfully blending edibles and ornamentals together, The Beautiful Edible Garden shows that it’s possible for gardeners of all levels to reap the best of both worlds. Featuring a fresh approach to garden design, glorious photographs, and ideas for a range of spaces—from large yards to tiny patios—this guide is perfect for anyone who wants a gorgeous and productive garden.

Book excerpt: "Principles of Gardening is a treatise on the foundations and essential premises of gardening rather than a volume of directions; it provides the logic of the big picture rather than an inventory of details. Johnson expands the vision of the gardener beyond the minutiae of instruction books, illuminating the primal connection to nature that is the essence of gardening. In the opening chapter on climate, for instance, he goes beyond an explanation of hardiness zones to explore the character of plant tenderness, the elements of climate, and the role of the gardener. In a discussion of how plants come to be cultivated by gardeners, he marvels at the horticultural niches to which different plants have been assigned." "While specific information abounds - the correct distance between canes of raspberries, or how to build a garden pond - the strength of Principles of Gardening lies in the commonsense elemental advice that appears throughout."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
