The Prairie Rock Garden: Comprehensive List of Rock Garden Plants for the Prairies (Prairie Garden Books)
Donna Balzer
Rocks have long been thought of as the bane of a gardener's existence--obstacles to be worked around, nuisances to be dug out of the soil before the ground can be properly prepared. Now, however, with the current "theme garden" design trend, rocks have become increasingly popular landscape features. With a weight and substance that provide a unique counterpoint to the fleeting nature of the perennials and annuals that surround them, rocks impart a sense of tranquility to their setting. For the home gardener who is attracted to the idea of adding such a garden element, yet hesitates for fear of creating what looks more like a pile of rubble than a natural accent, Balzer has written an authoritative guide. Assisted by more than 100 color photographs, she provides in-depth information on design, preparation, planning, and maintenance along with step-by-step construction directions. With an extensive list of suitable plants.
