The City Gardener`s Handbook

This classic text on gardening in town begins with help in evaluating the plot in question, proceeds through soil improvement, fences, and the effect of wind, and then journeys through the world of plants. The author--a New York Times garden columnist--also provides information on useful containers, the merits of awnings, and safety in the urban garden. And she appends plans and photographs to showcase existing gardens that have survived successfully the rigors of city living. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
