Flower Gardening For Beginners by Emily Donald Pdf

Flowering plants always make your garden look more exciting (and can stop neighbors in their tracks). Perennials can dazzle year after year, while annuals can add blooms almost instantly. You can start planting a flower garden with seeds or pick up transplants at the garden center, but once you've chosen your plants, there are a few basic steps to get your flowers off to a good start in your yard. First, before you start digging, read the tag that comes with your plants or the instructions on your packets of seeds so you can match the plants' needs with the best spots to grow them. Then, if you already have established flower beds, you can easily place new annuals or perennials wherever you need to fill in some holes. Or you can always create a new flower bed to fill with all the beautiful blooms you want to grow. Your best bet is to start small your first year, and don't worry about making mistakes. As time goes on, you can adjust your garden, digging up what didn't work on year and embracing what did well. You'll find a garden style and plants that make you happy, and the discovery of what exactly that is can be an unexpected pleasure. This book “FLOWER GARDENING FOR BEGINNERS” contains everything you need to know about starting your own flower garden to becoming a master in the art of growing flowers. GET YOUR COPY TODAY

Annuals and Tender Plants for North American Gardens by Wayne Winterrowd Pdf

Experienced gardeners often ask: Why plant annuals? They are common and garish and just don't last. This anticipated new work by eminent horticulturist Wayne Winterrowd--covering more than 250 genera and 600 species and containing over 250 color photographs--provides a great many answers to that question. Familiar garden plants such as marigolds, sunflowers, and zinnias are lovingly portrayed, as well as new species that the gardener may have only just discovered or never previously encountered. Each species is fully described by appearance, range of color, propagation, culture, climatic preferences, and garden value. In addition, Winterrowd supplies fascinating accounts of the botanical etymology, the origins of common names, and the rich historical lore that surround all plants, familiar and rare alike. Most important, his lifetime of hands-on, practical garden experience crisscrosses these pages, offering a trove of practical advice. The result is a volume that will encourage committed annuals growers in their passion and introduce a whole new world of possibilities to gardeners who have hardly guessed at the riches of these formerly undervalued plants. A tremendously ambitious work that reflects almost ten years of careful research, observation, and experimentation, Annuals and Tender Plants for North American Gardens is a comprehensive, utterly engaging reference. Arranged alphabetically and with convenient, at-a-glance profiles prefacing each entry, this beautifully designed guide is both a good read and a visual delight.
