Inhoudsopgave:
This is volume II of âThe Modern Flower Gardenâ series, dealing with herbaceous plants and their use in borders. Herbaceous plants are annual, biennial, or perennial plants that have no persistent woody stem above ground and die completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited. Including helpful photographs and simple, step-by-step instructions, this fantastic guide will be of considerable gardeners with an interest in herbs. Contents include: âFirst Considerationsâ, âPosition and Aspectâ, âBackgroundâ, âSize, Proportions and Shapeâ, âEdges for Bordersâ, âPreparing the Borderâ, âPlanning and Arrangementâ, âThe General Borderâ, âColour Schemesâ, âA Border of Mixed Coloursâ, âPractical Hints on Planningâ, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening. |
