Taming Wildflowers: Bringing the Beauty and Splendor of Nature's Blooms Into Your Own Backyard de Miriam Goldberger

Taming Wildflowers: Bringing the Beauty and Splendor of Nature's Blooms Into Your Own Backyard

Autor Miriam Goldberger
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mar 2014
Wildflowers are the jewels of spring and summer everywhere. Families drive miles to witness their beauty in wild landscapes. Now, gardeners are discovering that they can easily and successfully cultivate these hardy native wonders right at home, for year-after-year enjoyment. Wildflower farmer and floral designer Miriam Goldberger believes that wildflowers belong as an essential part of North American gardens. Taming Wildflowers is the ultimate DIY book on wildflower gardening and floral design: part wildflower history (“How Wildflowers Changed the World”), part upbeat, informative how-to, a little basic plant science, and an easy primer on designing with these wild and wondrous blooms. Her richly photographed book shows gardeners how wildflowers enhance the beauty and environmental health of their gardens by attracting birds, butterflies and other important pollinators; the simple steps in seed propagation (“Making Babies”); cutting garden must-haves (natives and non-natives); integrating wildflowers into the vegetable garden; harvesting fresh and everlasting wildflowers; and how to use floral design secrets to create long-lasting arrangements. In the last chapter the author works with three brides to design three very different, memorable wildflower weddings.  Taming Wildflowers features 60 of Miriam’s favorite wildflowers and 300 full-color photos. This is the complete wildflower cutting garden guide.

Recenzii

Endorsement from Mark Cullen, the best known gardener in Canada; garden expert for CANADA AM on CTV; columnist for the Toronto Star; author of 18 garden books; host of Mark Cullen: Gardening, on HGTV.

"I have known Miriam through her work in the business of wildflowers for about 20 years. I have grown to admire her passion for wildflowers and the depth of her knowledge of this fascinating topic. She has achieved what no other professional in the business has achieved: a level of awareness about the benefits of native plants that is unprecedented."
