Designing and Maintaining Your Edible Landscape Naturally
Item #: BK-design -
Hands down, this has been our favorite single book on gardening since it was published in 1986. It left a big gap in the gardening world when it went out of print, and needless to say, we were overjoyed when Chelsea Green began to publish it again in 2005. Robert Kourick brings together an immense body of information gleaned from both extensive research and many years of hands-on practical experience as a gardener, landscaper and designer. Kouricks clear and engaging writing combines with a wealth of charts, tables and diagrams to produce a book thats an enjoyable read and reliable reference that you will consult for many years.
