Reviews

Munroe's experience with her own suburban Connecticut garden has led her to proclaim the wisdom of low-maintenance plants and procedures. With a missionary's zeal, she recommends a bevy of hardy native plants, herbs, annuals, and perennials that have proven to be pest-, disease-, and drought-resistant. An established painter, Munroe provides line drawings as illustrations and introduces artists' terminology to help define basic design concepts. Gardeners from other regions should still find plenty of helpful advice in Munroe's enthusiastic proselytizing on a variety of topics. Alice Joyce
