[Makes] landscaping with native plants a promise of nature's beauty at one's doorstep. - Joan Lee Faust, The New York Times*

Reseña del editor:

In response to demand from landscape architects and home gardeners, Natural Landscaping returns to print in an updated and expanded second edition. It is unique in its focus on plant communities; it approaches landscape design as the establishment of natural ecosystems, rather than the mere planting of specimens. Emphasizing the natural landscapes of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, this book: * reviews landscaping principles and techniques * introduces native plant species for grasslands, savannas, forests, edge areas, & small wetlands * illustrates how to evaluate a site and plan for visual effect & maintenance * presents the issues involved in restoring bogs, ponds, and other wetlands * offers practical advice on reducing chemical use while still combatting invasive plants * addresses social, legal, design, and planting problems often encountered on residential sites * discusses natural landscaping for public parklands, civic buildings, school grounds, and corporate properties
