The Woodland Garden: Planting in Harmony With Nature
Editorial Reviews
Adrian Higgins, The Washington Post, February 17, 2000
The authors believe there are few places where the woodland cannot be mirrored and exploited, even on tight city lots. In addition to designs, readers will find extensive lists of trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers for the four layers of the forest -- the canopy, the understory, the shrub layer and the woodland floor.
