Planting in a Post-Wild World by Thomas Rainer and Claudia West
As Heard on The Daily Gardener Podcast:
Rainer and West offer strong voices in ecological landscape design.
The book is about how plants fit together in the wild and how we can use that understanding in garden design and plantings. The benefits of this kind of planting method are much more management and less maintenance in addition to more diversity and density in our plantings.
Rainer and West have grown increasingly frustrated by the fact that traditional horticultural plantings really didn’t provide the set of tools to give clients ecosystems that also offer year-round beauty.
