2002: Landscape Design

The Prairie Garden 2002: Landscape Design (Ebook)

This year’s theme articles focus on landscaping in addition to the usual assortment of articles of general interest. The book discusses ideas for diverse landscapes from the city garden to rural acreages to farm homes. If you are looking for ideas to create a landscape full of foliage, the construction of a pond, a trellis for growing hops and a place to feed the birds, you’ll find them here. 

Gardeners are becoming bolder in terms of the plants they wish to include in their landscape. Gone are the days where if a plant would not survive in a zone 3 garden, no one would buy it. People are looking for a challenge and are growing azaleas, rhododendrons and hybrid tea roses among others. Of course, special attention is needed to grow these successfully but the rewards of seeing them bloom and survive makes up for all the hard work in caring for them. 

In addition to a wider range of plants, hardscaping materials have expanded as well. With the advent of interlocking stones, homeowners can create more diverse features like retaining walls, intricate stone walkways, and outdoor living spaces. All of these allow the homeowner a much wider variety of landscaping options. 

Use this year’s book to help you find ideas for a small project such as designing a new corner garden or to perk up an older one. Or be bold and look at creating a whole new yard!
