Create the lush landscape of your dreams with this comprehensive guide to beautiful, environmentally conscious yards and gardens. Southern Gardening suggests useful groundcovers and easy-care, adaptable trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals. Identify and deal with exotic invasive plants that threaten our natural areas, and learn minimally damaging ways of dealing with insect pests. Plus, a month-by-month guide will help gardeners plan ahead as they strive to have gardens that are more earth-friendly.

Master Gardener Marie Harrison shares her wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as her unique gardening philosophies, with a friendly, easygoing style that’s both helpful and reassuring for gardeners of all ages and experience levels. She, like many others, realizes that the way we manage our gardens affects the environment and the world that we share. “Southern gardeners have only recently become treated to books for and by us. Marie—with all her experiences and observations, especially in her approach to ‘earth-and gardener-friendly’ landscaping—has put icing on our cake. Wonderful plants, solid insights!” —Felder Rushing, horticulturist and tenth-generation hard-core Southern gardener
