Review
Take Hal Bruce's advice and get a little wild in your garden. In How to Grow Wildflowers and Wild Shrubs and Trees in Your Own Garden, he describes where to find and how to grow wild things, both for their beauty and for the good of the planet. Bruce, who is definitely not a purist, reconciles the use of exotics and store-bought plants with native plants. He gives expert (and rare) instruction on how to cultivate uncommon native plants and what to plant in resistant or unusual areas, such as aquatic gardens or sandy spots. The appendix of sources for wild plants and the chart of planting zones will prove especially handy in your gardening adventures. One might question, though, Bruce's recommendations for propagating something called "Sneezeweed."
From the Back Cover
Horticulturist Hal Bruce began wild gardening not just for aesthetic reasons, but also as a conservation effort: By learning to recognize, appreciate, and grow native North American plants, we can help save them from extinction. This book endures as both an appeal for conservation and as a thorough reference guide to gardening with wild plants. (7 1/4 X 8 1/4, 318 pages, map, illustrations)
