Rediscover a classic garden technique! Rock gardening -the art of growing miniature plants in the company of rocks-has been surging in popularity. Time and space constraints, dry conditions, and a trend toward architectural plants are just a few of the reasons for the increased interest. 'Rock Gardening' brings this traditional style to a new generation of gardeners.
It includes a survey of gorgeous rock gardens from around the world, the techniques and methods specific to creating and maintaining a rock garden, and profiles of the top 50 rock garden plants. AUTHOR: Joseph Tychonievich studied horticulture, plant breeding, and genetics at the Ohio State University and was the nursery manager at Arrowhead Alpines, a premier rock garden nursery in Fowlerville, Michigan. Organic Gardening Magazine called him one of "six young horticulturalists who are helping to shape how America gardens." 243 colour photos
