Softcover

“One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides,” said W.E. Johns in his wonderful collection of garden anecdotes, The Passing Show. Those of us who have been eagerly anticipating the beginning of spring so that we can dust off our greenthumbs and get back in the garden certainly know what Johns was talking about—and the experts at Better Homes & Gardens® do, too! You’ll be itching to don your gardening gloves and grab your shovel when you open this gorgeously illustrated guide—a comprehensive resource sure to inspire you to create your own Eden. Here’s everything you need to know to design and maintain a great-looking and functional yard. You’ll learn: • the secret to gardening success (hint: it begins with the soil.) • which flowers and shrubs bloom throughout the year • all the best perennials, ferns and ornamental grasses to enhance the look, fragrance and privacy of your yard • how to use colors to their best effect (For example, “include red in your garden’s color scheme by partnering it with silver or white. Silver calms red into good behavior in a border; white offers a crisp contrast to richly colored reds.”) Color photos. Softcover. TRY THIS AT HOME: A TIP FROM BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS® STEP-BY-STEP ULTIMATE YARD & GARDEN Bold and Beautiful Use bold colors to enliven a scene, but remember to practice a modicum of restraint.
