As Heard on The Daily Gardener Podcast:
The New Shade Garden by Ken Druse
This book came out in 2015, and the subtitle is Creating a Lush Oasis in the Age of Climate Change.
In this book, Ken Druse does it again. He provides another comprehensive guide, but this time, he focuses on shade plants and our changing climate. Ken's conversational writing style makes his advice stickier and easier to implement.
Today, gardeners need to plan for their garden's conditions to maximize their efforts and investment.
- What shade plants are best if you have deer?
- How can I have a shade garden and water less?
- What are the best plants for color in the shade garden of the future?
These are the questions current and future generations of gardeners face. Beauty is still a goal, but today's gardener is looking for earth-friendly, climate-wise, and super functional plants.
This book is 256 pages of everything you need to know to create or upgrade a shade garden from a modern plant master.
You can get a copy of The New Shade Garden by Ken Druse and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20.
