Gardening: shrubs & trees

This beautifully illustrated book on landscape gardening addresses shrubs and how to determine which you should plant among your perennials and where. Shrubs provide the foundation for a pleasing, yet low-maintenance garden. They are long-lived, have the ornamental appeal of perennials, and provide variety in color, size, shape, and texture, as well as shelter and berries for birds. Shrubs can make attractive arrangements indoors and provide seasonal variation through the entire year. Gillian Harris's illustrations are botanically correct works of art that make this book absolutely irresistible.

Reviews for Shrubs Large and Small: Natives and Ornamentals for Midwest Gardens

There are not many books on shrubs. There is a need for this one and it should be very successful...But because they are so trouble free, people tend not to give them the respect they deserve. Moya's horticultural experience is so vast she can speak to all of us, whether advanced gardeners or beginners. This book is a wonderful companion to Perennials Short and Tall and as always, Gillian's charming and accurate paintings will help us to look at their subjects in a new light.
