American Plants for American Gardens
Author: Edith A. RobertsPublisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820340561
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Undeservedly out of print for decades, American Plants for American Gardens was one of the first popular books to promote the use of plant ecology and native plants in gardening and landscaping. Emphasizing the strong links between ecology and aesthetics, nature and design, the book demonstrates the basic, practical application of ecological principles to the selection of plant groups or "associations" that are inherently suited to a particular climate, soil, topography, and lighting. Specifically, American Plants for American Gardens focuses on the vegetation concentrated in the northeastern United States, but which extends from the Atlantic Ocean west to the Alleghenies and south to Georgia. The plant community settings featured include the open field, hillside, wood and grove, streamside, ravine, pond, bog, and seaside. Plant lists and accompanying texts provide valuable information for the design and management of a wide range of project types: residential properties, school grounds, corporate office sites, roadways, and parks. In his introduction, Darrel G. Morrison locates American Plants for American Gardens among a handful of influential early books advocating the protection and use of native plants--a major area of interest today among serious gardeners, landscape architects, nursery managers, and students of ecology, botany, and landscape design. Included is an appendix of plant name changes that have occurred since the book's original publication in 1929. Ahead of their time in many ways, Edith A. Roberts and Elsa Rehmann can now speak to new generations of ecologically conscious Americans.

The Complete Book of Ferns

Book Description
2021 American Horticultural Society Book Award Winner: “A lovely and multifaceted exploration . . . as useful as it is educational.” —Publishers Weekly The Complete Book of Ferns is filled with botanical information, indoor and outdoor growing and care information, details on propagation, display ideas, and even craft projects. This gorgeous book is authored by Mobee Weinstein, Foreman of Gardeners at the New York Botanical Garden and a veteran guest on Martha Stewart Living and other shows. From otherworldly Staghorns—mounted like antler trophies in homes throughout the world—to classic Boston Ferns and newer varieties like Crispy Wave, ferns are definitely back in fashion. And to no one’s surprise. After all, ferns are among the very oldest plants on the planet, with a long and storied history. There are tens of thousands of known varieties. In the Victorian Era, ferns were an absolute craze for over fifty years. They re-emerged as integral home décor in the ’50s and ’60s, and decorated the “fern bars” of the ’80s. And they’re back again. This comprehensive reference starts its examination of ferns 400 million years ago, when the first species of this group of spore-reproducing plants appeared on Earth, exploring their evolution and eventual incorporation into human culture, including the powers associated with them and their practical and ornamental uses. Then, after an exploration of fern botany—its parts, how it grows, its variability in size and form, habitats, propagation, etc.—you’ll learn how to green your indoor and outdoor environments with ferns. Every aspect of care is covered: potting/planting, watering, fertilizing, pest and disease control, and more. Finally, you can explore creative planting projects, like terrariums, vertical gardens (living walls), mixed tabletop gardens, and moss baskets, and create pressed fern art, fabric wall hangings with chlorophyll-stained designs, cyanotypes, and handmade fern-decorated paper. You’ll soon understand why this ancient plant class continues to be all the rage.
