Garden Design For The Short Season Yard : Everything You Need To Know For Chinook And Canadian Prairie Zones

Guide to garden design suited to the short growing seasons of the Canadian Prairies and Chinook regions. The author, a prairie-based landscape designer, discusses fundamental design principles including scale, balance, texture, colour, and repetition, together with the use of themes and focal points in planning garden spaces. Additional essays address regional conditions such as weather, pests, and plant diseases, and consider approaches to low-maintenance, water-wise, and shade gardening. The work also surveys suitable trees, perennials, and annuals, along with the use of permanent features in the garden landscape.
