Plant This, Not That
With gardeners increasingly interested in the ecological advantages of substituting and adding native plants to their landscapes, Elise Howard’s colorfully illustrated Plant This, Not That touts “over 200 Native Plant Swaps” describing local alternative species—their requirements, where to buy them, how to nurture them.
In chapters dedicated to every region and every component of residential gardens and borders, ground covers and hedges, climbing plants, specimen trees—there is direction on how to create a more sustainable, pollinator-friendly, lower-maintenance garden without sacrificing the color, texture, interest of old-fashioned gardens.
